“EEkkadu Thaangal Thiruvooral Uthsavam -
Thiurvallikkeni
Emperuman purappadu”
This is a photo taken at
around 01.00 am in the morning of today, and one might wonder how there are so
many around and more importantly, why a purappadu of Perumal at such a time
????
At Thiruvallikkeni
Divyadesam there are daily, monthly, yearly uthsavams. Most of them occur on
specific nakshathiram. Today [night of 1.2.14 & early morning of
2.2.14] is ‘Eekkadu Thangal Thiruvural
Uthsavam’ – which has no connection with any nakshathiram. Eekkadu Thangal near
Guindy is an area known for its industries and it lies on the bank of Adyar
river. Every year, Sri Parthasarathi visits this place. This
Uthsavam is held on a Sunday in the tamil month of Maasi, when there are no
other special uthsavams. Today 2nd Feb
2014, this Uthsavam is taking place.
Sri Parthasarathi Swami
started from His temple in the early hours of today at around 01.15 am and
after ‘mandakapadis’ at various places visits Eekkadu Thangal. The first
halt is at Thavana Uthsava Bungalow, then Sri Parthasarathi Swami Sabha, then
Vijay Avenue, Venkatrangam Street. Sri Parthasarathi then visited Mylai
Madhava Perumal Thirukovil ~ and later Sri Adhi Kesava Perumal Sannathi near
Chithirai Kulam. [there will be a separate post of Azhwar mangalasasanam
at Thirumayilai later………]
Sri Parthasarathi after
Mylapore, goes via Alwarpet, T Nagar, Kodambakkam, Mahalingapuram, Saidapet and
finally reaches Eekkadu Thangal where Thirumanjanam is performed. The purappadu
is now on.. Here are some photos taken this morning.
