Dhanurmasam and Goda Kalyanam
Dhanurmasam is the sacred month when the Sun is in Dhanus. Vishnu temples wake the Lord with Andal's Tiruppavai in the early dawn – at Tirumala it takes the place of the Suprabhatam – and offer pongal as prasadam. The month ends on Bhogi with Goda Kalyanam, the divine wedding of Andal and Lord Ranganatha.
