The Oil Prasadam Tradition
The prasadam traditionally given to pregnant women is a small quantity of castor oil. During the puja, the oil is placed at the feet of Sri Garbarakshambigai Amman and returned to the devotee as prasadam.
The oil is traditionally applied in small quantities over the abdomen during pregnancy. Devotees also apply it when labour pains begin. This is a devotional practice associated with prayers for the protection of mother and child and for safe childbirth.

The Goddess and the Temple
Goddess Garbarakshambigai is worshipped at the ancient temple in Thirukkarukavur, Papanasam Taluk, Thanjavur District, Tamil Nadu. The name itself reflects her traditional association with protecting the womb and safeguarding pregnancy.
Devotees visit the temple to pray for conception, protection during pregnancy and a safe delivery. The Goddess is especially revered by women and families seeking her grace during this important stage of life.
