According to the South Indian tradition, even if one is not residing on the banks of the river Cauvery, one can go to a nearby water body (river, pond, temple tank,lake etc), invoke the divine river in it and perform Puja. Cauvery Ashtottaram, Lakshmi Ashtottaram Archana is performed followed by Shodashopacharam, Naivedyam & Deeparadhana. As per the above custom, Pundits of Sri Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam perform special pujas every year in the place of camp of Pujya Shankaracharya Swamigal.

Early this morning , the pundits accompanied by devotees went to the Shivala ghat on the banks of Ganga and performed #Cauvery pooja. Kalasham filled with holy water was brought to Srimatam and offered to Acharyal. Being the Jayanti day of Pujya Shri Jayendra Saraswathi Shankaracharya Swamigal, a portrait of Pujya Swamigal was also taken in procession.

Special Naivedyaprasadams were distributed on the occasion.

 

With blessings of Pujya Acharyal, Adi Perukku was also celebrated at Kanchipuram in the Pancha Ganga teertham in Sri Kamakshi Ambal Devasthanam, and at various places on the banks of the river Cauvery in Tamilnadu.
