Riverbank Worship Early morning, devotees gather by rivers or lakes to offer turmeric water, flowers, rice, lamps, and coconuts as Neivedyam to the water goddess. This symbolizes gratitude and nature’s bounty. 2. Special Food Offerings (Kalandha Sadham) Families prepare a variety of mixed rice dishes—lemon rice, tamarind rice, coconut rice, sweet pongal—to share and offer near the water’s edge. A symbol of communal joy and abundance. 3.
