"Vethillai malai" for Anjaneyar.

There is a practice to do a "Vethillai malai" (Betal leaf) for Lord Anjaneyar. The legend is that when Anjaneyar went to Sri Lanka first time to look for Seetha Devi, he located Her in Asokavanam. He identified himself by presenting Shree Rama's ring to Seetha . She was so pleased hear the Good news from Anjaneyar, She picked the leaves from nearby plants, namely Vethillai and garlanded the  Anjaneyar with Vethillai mala. 

The benefit or the meaning is that when we garland  Anjaneyar with Vethillai mala, Good news is coming to us.   

Shri Anjaneyar
