Mukkoti Pradakshinam begins at Lord Rama’s mansion that is
beyond Ghanta Mandapam in the path way of Vimana Pradakshina.In Dravidian
terminology, mukkoti means the vratham had on this day is
equal to three crores time of vrathams followed on
any Ekadasi day. The Pradakshinam has walls on three sides only, with
the eastern wall missing.
Mukkoti Pradakshinam is opened to pilgrims only twice a year
during Mukkoti Ekadasi (in the month of Pausha, Dhanurmasa) and Mukkoti Dvadasi
(the following day). The doors are opened on the night of the eleventh day
morning (early hours) after Thiruppavai and closed on the night of
the twelfth day (called Margali-tiru-dvadasi).
