Udhara Roga Muttarukkal

What is Udhara Roga Muttarukkal?

Udharam represents the stomach region, and Rogam is an ailment. Muttarukkal is made up of two words, Muttu and Arukkal, where Muttu means any form of obstacle and Arukkal is cutting or removing it. Udhara Roga Muttarukkal is a ritual done for curing problems or ailments that affect the stomach region of the body. 

How is the Udhara Roga Muttarukkal ritual done?

Udhara Roga Muttarukkal is done to the Mother Goddess. Special poojas are performed in this worship, along with breaking of the coconut before the deity. The presiding deity of this worship is Goddess Bhagavathy, who combines in herself supreme power and motherly compassion, and, hence, this ritual is done for propitiating her. This ceremony is performed generally on Krithika star days, which are considered auspicious for this particular ritual. The frequency at which this needs to be done will depend on the condition of the individual and his or her requirements. The spiritual guides or astrologers can assess the need based on a reading of the birth chart, and, accordingly, this ritual may be performed every month for a period of 7, 13 or even 18 months, as the case may be, on the day of the Krithika star. But the intensity of the affliction or the seriousness of the issue to be resolved can sometimes make them change and decide on a different day and duration for this remedy. (Performing this ritual at the famous Kadampuzha Goddess Bhagavathy Temple has a special significance. Here Muttarukkal is done as one of the main offerings to the deity.)
