The Lord s form demonstrates his five-fold functions: creation, preservation, destruction, concealment and salvation. Lord Nataraja is given six abhishekams in a year. The explanation for that number is as follows. Earth takes 365 days to complete one full circle around the sun. That duration is divided into six seasons Marghazhi-Thai: early winter; Masi- Panguni: late winter; Chittirai-Vaikasi: early summer; Ani-Adi: high summer; Avani-Purattasi: autumn; Aippasi- Karthikai: rainy season. This six-season year of humans is said to be but one day for the immortals. A day has six periods: dawn, morning, noon, afternoon, evening, and night. These are when the six daily poojas in temples are performed. Likewise, the Devas day, which is a human year, has been divided into six. During each of these six parts, an abhishekam has been ordained for Lord Nataraja. One of these is Ani Thirumanjanam, the pradosha abhishekam on the evening of the day of Uthiram star in the month Aani (May-June). This is the best time for worshipping Lord Shiva. Scriptures say it was on Ani Uthiram, under a kurundai tree, that the Lord Shiva offered upadesam to Hindu Saint Manikkavasakar. Legends have it that during the abhishekam to the Lord Natarajar, as everyone watched, the sage merged in the Lord as a brilliant flame. Let us worship Lord Natarajar on Ani Utharam (Thirumanjanam) day and get blessing from the Lord.
