Today [14th July
2013] is the 7th and concluding day of Kodai Uthsavam for Sri
Parthasarathi Swami at Thiruvallikkeni
divyadesam.
During Kodai Uthsavam, Sri
Parthasarathi and Ubaya Nachimar have purappadu in separate kedayams… and today
it was exceptionally grand… in every sense – He adorned a predominantly ornate white dress
~ the floral alankaram was exceptional… first it was the most fragrant
‘magizham poo’ [Spanish chery; medlar / bullet wood] – then one made of mullai
buds [jasmine]; then a beautiful garland
made of – jasmine, yellow rose; read rose; and thavanam ~ in the posterior, He
had Sevvarali [red arali – oleander]
As the Emperor, He had a
wonderful Crown called ‘sigathadai’ – tightly woven around with reams of fresh jasmine flowers with white robe and a kingly
ornament atop that. The parasols [umbrellas] that accompanied were big
magnificent ones [20 jon kudais]
There was the big contingent
of Divya Prabandha goshti, today headed by
Thirukurungudi Srimath Sri Sri Paramahamsethyathi Perarulan Ramanuja
Jeeyar who is visiting Thiruvallikkeni from Thirukurunkudi divyadesam.
Here are some photos taken
by me during the evening periya mada veethi purappadu.
