We started from Mantralayam on 19th itself since 20th was Ekadasi and as not preferred. It is is always better to head back from Mantralayam by taking teertha prasada and on the day of Ekadasi there is no prasada.
On the way back we had the birthday celebraions

Devarasamaradhane
Pooja Samagri:
- Flowers
- Fruits
- Cha
Procedure:
On the day of the Pooja, do the Enne Sastra. Two married ladies need to do the enne shastra for the family (Mother, Father, son and the kalashgitti). They also do kadalaarathi to the family. Then, the family needs to stand under the chapra and okhli neeru needs to be done. Basically Okhli neeru means, Water with sunna and haldi is kept.
In the actual process, the family is made to sit under the chapra. Five glasses are kept around them and hasi dhara is use to connect the 5 glasses. After applying kumkum to the family, the Okhli neeru is put on them. This water should fall on the head and the back. They then go and take head bath.
Warlu kallu, Beeso kallu and onake pooje: Previous day itself make sure to wash and clean the warlu kallu, Beeso Kallu and Onake. Apply sunna to all of them in such a way that it looks decorated. Immediately apply Haldi dots on it such that it turns red and looks like kumkum. We can also decorate more with paint etc.
During the pooja, tie Arshanada Kombu with hasi dhara to each one of them (kallu). First do Ganesha pooja first. In a small plate keep Ganesha idol, do the Ganesha ashtothra, sing Ganesha songs and do pooja. Put flowers and gajje vastra. Do agarbatti pooja. Also do nevidya with banana on beetle leaves with beetle nuts. Then do haldi kumkum pooja and put flowers to the kallu. Put gajje vastra also. There are songs that are sung during the pooja time. Now we need to use the kallu. In the Warlu kallu, put arshanada kombu and Wheat. Use Onake and hit it to make powder. It will be a coarse powder only. Now, put some wheat in the beeso kallu and grind it. Add wheat flour as well to the beeso kallu since the wheat does not grind into fine powder. Once it is ground into coarse flour, mix it with the powder from the Warlu kallu. Take some wheat grains in a plate and put one finger ring in it. Cover it with another plate. This should be put in the mother's pallu and the son has to find the ring. It is like a small game. This should be done 3 times. Each time the son finds the ring, he should say, "muttu kande, hawala kande, muthinante janeevara kanutene". Again do the warlu pooje with haldi and kumkum. Now mix the coarsely ground flour with little water and make a thick paste. Take a white towel which was dipped in haldi water and dried previous day itself. Put small sandige using this paste on the towel. All the 5 ladies and the mother and son should put the sandige. Others can also put. Each one should keep 5 sandige. Do haldi kukum pooja to the sandige too. Offer flowers too. Now 2 ladies do aarthi to god and pooja to all the new items that have been purchased for the function. They do the aarthi to the family also. Then the mother does pooja to all the new items. She also does pooja to the kalasha which the kalashgitti holds. In the Kalash put 5 beetle leaves, some water and haldi and kumkum.
In the actual process, the family is made to sit under the chapra. Five glasses are kept around them and hasi dhara is use to connect the 5 glasses. After applying kumkum to the family, the Okhli neeru is put on them. This water should fall on the head and the back. They then go and take head bath.
