The Supreme
Lord, the Sovereign Master of the Universe does everything to win the love of
His subjects ~ and there is One who thought only about Him, was so devoted that
She could reach Him – Andal, Godha Piratti. Andal’s Thiruppavai contains ocean of values
including significance of Naama
sankeerthanam to Sriman Narayana. The
Saint Poetess observed Paavai Nonbu (vratham) to attain Lord Krishna.
In the month
of Margazhi, there occurs the Nine day
festival for Andal known as Neeratta Uthsavam.
Daily morning there will be veedhi purappadu of Andal signifying her
preparation for the neerattam. After the
purappadu, Andal will have ‘Thirumanjanam’ at the Neeratta mandapam which is
just opposite to the Thiruther. Sri
Parthasarathi Perumal too visits this mantap immediately after the
‘theppam’[float] festival day.
Today (7th
Jan 2017) is day 3 of Andal Neeratta Uthsavam and some photos taken during
morning purappadu are here.
