| The Pooja is symbolic of Lord Suryanarayana Himself propitiating Lord Swaminatha. In several temples, this Pooja is performed on a day when the sunrays fall on the feet of teh presiding deity through a special opening in the ceiling. At Uttara Swamimalai there is no such opeining on the ceiling. Yet through the eastern portal, the rising Sun's Golden rays illuminate the entire idol of Lord Swaminatha on all the five days consecutively. | ||||||||||||
