You may kindly refer the article translated from HH Pundarikapuram Swamy's tamil articles in Perarulalan: -------- saalagraamaha samaaha poojyaaha samaeshu dvithayam na hi asamaaha naiva pujyanthae ekaha pujyatamomataha Even number of saalagraamams have to be worshipped, exception being two saalagraamams. Odd number of saalagraamams should not be worshipped, exception being one saalagraamam. ------- There is no specific mention that a different rule applies for numbers above 12 in these set of articles. However we can check with our Acharyans on this. Also, I have heard from elders that if Dwaraka Shila is present, it would compensate for this even/odd problem as every Kuzhi (hole) in the dwaraka shila is considered equivalent to a saligramam.
