Sree Ayyappa Temple, Yeshwanthpur
Noorum Palum
Milk + jaggery + flour offering to Naga deities
Noorum Palum (ಪಾಲುಂ ನೂರುಂ | നൂറും പാലും — 'flour and milk') is the keystone Naga offering on Ashlesha (Ayilyam) nakshatra. A paste of rice flour + jaggery + milk is poured over the Naga vigraha — a serene offering to the serpent guardians. Particularly powerful for those observing Sarpa Dosha remedies or seeking the Nagas' blessings for family wellbeing.
Noorum Palum is the most distinctive offering on Ayilyam (Ashlesha) day. The Malayalam name translates literally as “flour and milk” — a paste of rice flour, jaggery (sharkara), milk, and tender coconut, ceremonially poured over the Naga vigraha as a cooling, nurturing abhishekam.
When this is performed
At Sree Ayyappa Temple, Yeshwanthpur, Noorum Palum is part of the monthly Ayilyam observance — every Malayalam month on Ashlesha nakshatra. Devotees attend with family for the family-blessing significance of the Naga puja.
Significance
The Nagas (serpent deities) are guardians of fertility, prosperity, and family lineage. Ayilyam nakshatra is presided over by the Nagas — Ashlesha herself is depicted as the serpent. Noorum Palum is the prescribed Naga puja offering: cooling, sweet, and nourishing, reflecting the devotee’s request for the Nagas’ grace and protection.
For those observing Sarpa Dosha remedies (a particular astrological combination), monthly Noorum Palum on Ayilyam day is among the most highly recommended observances.
