Though in almost all temples deepaaraadhana (worship with lighted lamps and lighted camphor) is done it is not treated as pooja. In certain small temples, having only a pooja in a day, deepaaraadhana may be combined with the atthazha- pooja. As already indicated the time of atthazha-pooja is between one and 2 hours after sunset. ie, before 8.30 p.m. This pooja has the routine nivedya and wherever parivaara-prathishta are installed Sree-bali (Seeveli) is also conducted. In certain temples Thrippuka (burning of ashta-gandha) is shown besides offering kashaaya (a liquid made of molasses, cardamom and black pepper) to the deity.
