Paarvettai purappadu at Thiruvallikkeni 2016 : Sri Vijayadasami
The day after Saraswathi Pooja is
Vijayadasami ~ the day considered most auspicious for starting
learning. Children are put in schools and taught the first syllable
known as “Aksharabyasam”.
11th Oct 2016 was * Vijayadasami *. On every
Vijayadasami, there is ‘paarvettai purappadu’ of Lord Parthasarathi. At Thiruvallikkeni divyadesam today, Sri Parthasarathi had purappadu astride
the golden horse. It was ‘Sthothra Padal’ goshti ~ Thadi Panchakam [Dhati
panchagam] and Sthothra Rathnam were rendered. Perumal had kulakkarai
purappadu – TP kovil 2nd street, Bandala Venugopala Street and
then from South Mada St Junction, being
Purattasi Thiruvonam –Sri Vedantha Char accompanied him.
There are only a handful of occasions, when Perumal has purappadu beyond
the boundaries of maada veethi – that include : Eekkattu Thangal thiruvooral
uthsavam, Masi maham, Thai poosam, Kodai
Uthsava sarrumurai and Vijaya dasami. In
olden days, when Emperor was on the move, his subjects too would
accompany. Have heard that traditional
Srivaishnava scholars when they have darshan of Emperuman in purappadu, would
move along with the Perumal couple of houses at least. Hundreds accompany Sri Parthasarathi when He
visits Ekkadu ~ hundreds walk alongwith Deva Perumal in His sojourn during
Chitra Pournami, Rajakula theppam, Seevaram paarvettai and the like.
In Ayodhya Kanda of Sri Ramayana, Sarga 83 – the journey of Bharatha to
the Vana from the city of Ayodhya, across river Ganga is described in great
detail. His entourage consisted of
Royalty, Ministers, Purohits, tradesmen and other warriors. Valmiki describes :
षष्टी
रथसहस्राणि : धन्विनो विविधायुधाः ।
अन्वयुर्भरतं
यान्तम् : राजपुत्रं यशस्विनम् ॥
ஷஷ்டீ
ரதஸஹஸ்ராணி : தந்விநோ விவிதாயுதா: ।
அந்வயுர்பரதம்
யாந்தம்: ராஜபுத்ரம் யஸஸ்விநம் ॥
As the noble King, the scion of Ragu vamsa, Bharatha who was wedded to truth and who had mastered
senses walked towards the deep forest looking for his elder Sri Rama, sixty
thousand chariots and archers holding various weapons followed him, hoping to
see Lord Rama and bring Him back.
Here are some photos taken at Thulasinga Perumal 2nd lane,
that leads to Ice house bus stand.
