The evening program – ankurarpana began with Sri Vishwaksena puja followed by punyahavachanam,Deeksha kankanas were tied to the Lord and His parivaram, Swamis doing parayana and ubhayadars. Yellow clothes were given to them by the ubhayadars. Lord Vishwaksena was taken in a procession to an anthill.
