Dear Sri Govindharajan :
Thaks very much for your timely input.
I am making soem inquiries to get any variations
at different divya desams on the chronology and content
of observances of Anadhyayanam . Your version is 
very  much in vogue and my curiosity is to get 
a full perspective .If anything comes out of my inquiries
with Sri V.N.Gopala DesikAchAr swamy of Oppilaippan koil ,
ThiruvallikkENi AdhyApAkAs (  Sri Viji triplicane ) ,
Kanchipuram ( Sri Varadhan ) , Sri Mani Varadarajan ,
Professor VasudhA Narayanan ( keen student of the Recitation
tradition ) ,  Sri Anbil Swami , Sri Dileepan and
others , I will sumamrize the collective inputs .

Meanwhile , Please accept my sincere thanks for
the timely information sought by our friends in Baharain
and Singapore as well as here .I will try to speculate on
the reaon for the anaadhyanam of some of the Paasurams
during this period . May I also request other members
to share with us their knowledge onthe subject ?

I will also write on the description of the Pakal and Iraa Patthu 
festivals at Srirangam to provide the backdrop for 
the anadhyayanam & Adhyayanam .
