27th April 2013 is day 4 of Brahmothsavam
of Sri Parthasarathi Perumal at Thiruvallikkeni.
In the morning it was Surya Prabhai representing the Sun chariot
pulled by 7 horses. The radiance of Sun would sure get overshadowed by
the brilliance of Perumal. Centuries
ago, Thiruvallikkeni was such a pleasant garden with dense vegetation that
Thirumangai Azhwar described it as ‘இரவியின் கதிர்கள்
நுழைதல் செய்து அறியா திருவல்லிக்கேணி” ~ the Thiruvallikkeni where the
grahanams of Suriyan have not ventured inside……
Today, it is a concrete jungle with so many flats, vehicles and
over-crowded that there is not proper space for the Perumal purappadu – of
course in tune with its older leanings, cattle still remain………….
Here are photos taken during the Morning purappadu
