Jaya Varusha Navarathri Utsavam is celebrated in grandĀ manner atĀ Sri Yathokthakari Perumal temple, Thiruvekka Divya Desam, Kanchipuram.
It takes a little time for one to realize that Perumal here at ThiruVekka, is seen in a different sleeping posture from right to left (Maaru Sayanam) with His head resting on the left hand. In all other Divya Desams, where the Lord is represented in a sleeping posture, He can be seen sleeping from left to right with His head resting on His right hand.

Such is the fame of the Lord here that PeyAzhvaar in this Paasuram says āThere is no need to stand on mountain tops or in neck deep water or in the midst of five fires to penance. Just worship Perumal at ThiruVekka with flowers and a sincere heart. And all Karmaas will go awayā.
