Yesterday I have posted in
detail about ‘Pallava Uthsavam’ . Pallavam is a period – it is the period when tender shoots
spring up. During Pallava
Uthsavam, ‘Brindaranya Sthala mahimai’ is read before Sri Ranganathar
at Thiruvaimozhi mandapam inside Sri Parthasarathi Swami Temple. After this there
is periya maada veethi purappadu everyday.
13th April 2014 is
significant as today is ‘Panguni Uthiram’. In
Srirangam, it is famous for ‘Serthi sevai’.
At Thiruvallikkeni divyadesam, on
the day of Panguni Uthiram, divine wedding of Sri Vedavalli Thayar and Sriman
Ranganathar is performed.
Pallava Uthsavam concludes with
Sri Ranganathar astride ‘kannadi Garudan’.
This Garuda Sevai purappadu will be in the evening ~ while all other Garuda Sevai purappadus are
in the morning. From 15th,
Sri Parthasarathi brahmothsvam starts and today it will be ‘Selvar purappadu’
inside the temple in Pushpa Pallakku and hence the Kannadi Garudan purappadu
took place in the morning. Hundreds of devotees had darshan of Sri Ranganathar
in Garuda vahanam – known as Kannadi Garudan as this ornamental Garuda vahanam
has decorative glass all over.
Here are some photos taken this
morning during the purappadu
Adiyen Srinivasa dhasan.
