The observance day is decided by which tithi prevails at sunrise. Where a tithi straddles two civil days, the rule — not the calendar — picks the day, and that rule is exactly what differs between traditions.
Observed with
Six-day fast culminating in Lord Murugan's victory over demon Soorapadman (Soorasamharam)
- 6-day fast
- Kavadi
- Vel worship
- Soorasamharam re-enactment
