During the first 9 days of uthsavam, mudhalAyiram, periya thirumozhi and iyaRpA are recited during the puRappAdu (procession). On this final day, in most dhivya dhEsams in thoNdai nAdu, thiruvAimozhi will be recited at a stretch. In some temples, dhvAdhasa thiruvArAdhanam (12 thiruvArAdhanams) to perumAL is done along with pushpa yAgam. It is also common to observe thirumanjanam for emperumAn before thiruvAimozhi recital. In some temples, all emperumAns/AzhwArs/AchAryas will be present for the thirumanjanam and thiruvAimozhi recital. In the evening, perumAL with thAyArs will enjoy puRappAdu in small chariot, puNya kOti vimAnam or chapparam with rAmAnusa nURRanthAdhi gOshti. During completion, iyal sARRumuRai will also be recited. After returning to the temple, all the dhEvathas, rishis, srIvaishNavas who are visiting will be given a send-off by perumAL (archakas usually recite these verses). After that, the main archakar who took dhIksha for the uthsavam will be given a customary send-off with all bahumAnams from perumAL.
