Triplicane Sri Varadharaja Perumal Dhavana Uthsava Thirumanjanam 2015

On Masi Hastham [8^th Mar 2015] – at Thiruvallikkeni divyadesam, Sri Varadharajar had purappadu in the morning to the vast expanse in Thulasinga Perumal Koil Street.  This bungalow is  “Thavana Uthsava Bungalow”   associating its name with the annual Uthsavam. 

With the onset of summer, Perumal takes rest under the roof made of dhavanam (Tamil: தவனம்) [Artemisia pallens] – an aromatic herb in genus of small herbs or shrubs, xerophytic in nature.   This herb pervades great aroma and provides coolness.  In the recent years a kooralam [roof] made of Dhavanam is set up over the resting place of the Lord.

At the Dhavana Uthsava Bungalow, Perumal had Thirumanjanam [holy bathe] and here are some photos of the Thirumanjana avasaram.

Adiyen Srinivasa dhasan.
