The
third day of Brahmothsavam is of special
significance ~ it is Garuda Vahanam for Perumal. Garuda
is depicted as having the golden body of a strong person, has a white face,
wings, prominent beak, wears a crown – massive, strong – and more than
anything else – ever devoted to Sriman Narayanan, carrying Him on his shoulders
all the time. His devotion and being close to Emperuman all the time – Garuda,
is admired as ‘Periya Thiruvadi’.
This
morning [28th June 2015] @ 0530 am hundreds waited to have
glimpse of Lord as he came out of the Western gate sitting on Garuda.
Then there was the decorative ‘aesal’ at Thulasinga Perumal Kovil Street.
On this day, people from far and wide come to the temple, offer vasthram, place
before Lord cocoanut, fruits & other offerings and have darshan of Lord in
Garuda vahanam.
Here
are some photos taken this morning.
