Hi Vimala,

Very interesting information... You have written so well.

Thanks for sharing with us.

Hai friends,


In all temples NAVABASHANAM is being used to fix the Stone statues in the GARBAGRAHAM.
Why they are using it for this purpose? What are all the raw materials used to make NAVABASHANAM?
Anyone can clarify my doubt? Please give your views?

Hi Lalitha
I got the following from a website.
9 mixture of rare medicines like Lingam, Veeram, Pooram, Thaalagam, Manosilai, Gowri, Vellai Paasanam, Kandhagham, Kudhirai Pal Paasanam or Rasasendhooram which is shortly called as "Navapaashanam".

I will get you more details later about the reason why it is used etc.,

You should never use Til Oil, always use ghee for lighting God's lamp.

This is a special one called "ellu kizhi" , til tied in black cloth & lit with Til oil [gingelly oil]itself. We call it Nallennai in Tamil. They give us in temples when we go on Saturdays to light for Saneeswara.
some Saturdays iam unable to go to the temple.,thats why i do this infront of my altar.
Hope there is no harm in that.............

Hi geevee68,

Maybe you should check with Chitvish. We always use til oil for lighting lamp in front of God.
