kanu is the next day after makara sankarAnthi. This is the day specifically meant for girls and women. Women would go to their parents residence and get their blessings.
kanu uthsavam is celebrated in a grand manner for thAyAr in vAnamAmalai dhivya dhEsam.
ponnadikkAl jIyar, the dear and foremost sishya of maNavALa mAmunigaL, established vAnamAmalai mutt per the orders of mAmunigaL. Once he was travelling to thirumalai/thirupathi on a yAthrai. At that time, the local kainkaryaparars finds a vigraham of thAyAr there. They decide to install the thAyAr there itself. But thAyAr appears in the dreams of the kainkaryaparas and orders them to give the vigraham to ponnadikkAl jIyar. When they present the vigraham to ponnadikkAl jIyar, he affectionately accepts thAyAr as his own daughter since that is the divine will of thAyAr herself. jIyar then brings her over to vAnamAmalai, arranges for her grand marriage with dheivanAyagan emperumAn and takes care of all the activities at the temple. Following the tradition, all the jIyars of this vAnamAmalai mutt are considered to be the father of thAyAr herself. Since that time thAyAr arrives at the mutt every year during kanu uthsavam sARRumuRai (last day) along with perumAL and stays for the whole day.
kanu uthsavam itself is celebrated for 7 days. Every day thAyAr goes for a divine procession in the streets around the temple. The last day, thAyAr and perumAL visit the mutt and spends the most of the day there.
