Yellow strings are worn by the womenfolk of the house. In each string a small flower is tied up; one string is worn on the Kamakshi amman picture while the other strings are worn by the women in the house.
The prayer "Urugadha Vennayam oru adayum vaithu nonbu notren oru nallum en kanavar piriyamal iruka vendum"is chanted while wearing the string. Even young girls of more than one year old are allowed to wear these strings to get the blessings of the Goddess.
