Dear Bhaktaas:

NamO NarayanA!

Dvadasi parayanam and Ekadasi vratam are given a lot of importance
in our sampradayam.

I also came to learn that we should not go to temples after eating food.
My doubt is if we have to go to temples on the day of dvadasi, what should
we do?

Here in Simhapuri we go to the temple every saturday and chant slokas
from 9:00 to 11:00 am. Some saturdays happen to be Dvadasi's. So, is it O.K
if we do our parayanam around 12:00 after returning from the temple?

I heard having Thiru Thulai Theertham early in the morning on the day of
dvadasi
is equal to doing Parayanam. But my doubt is, we follow ekadasi Vratam and
not uppavasam.
Even in that case can  Thiru Thulai Theertham be had and is it equal to
parayanam?

If any of the Bhaktaas can throw light it would be helpful.
