Sārṟumaṟai — The Concluding Ceremony
Sārṟumaṟai (Tamil: sāṟṟu — to declare/bestow; maṟai — recitation/Veda) refers to the ceremonial conclusion of a Divya Prabandham recitation event — typically at the end of a day's kālakṣēpam or at the conclusion of festivals — when the assembly of Śrī Vaiṣṇavas is honoured with śaṭhāri (the sacred feet of Nammāzhvār placed on the head), prasādam, and śrīcūrṇam.
The sārṟumaṟai is one of the most distinctive practices of Śrī Vaiṣṇava communal worship. It draws on the principle of tadhiyārādhanam — that honouring devotees is itself a form of worship of Bhagavān.
During Utsava festivals at Śrī Raṅgam and all Divya Dēśams, the sārṟumaṟai is performed with great fanfare — it marks the formal 'sending away' of the Lord after the day's utsavam, and Āzhvār's pāsurams are recited while the devotees receive the Lord's blessings.
In Yathīndra Pravaṇa Prabhāvam, Māmunigaḷ is shown attending and presiding over sārṟumaṟais with great devotion, treating each devotee who received honour as a manifestation of Bhagavān's own grace.
