Thirukachi Sri Varadha Rajar Thirumanjanam 2018

From 27^th of May 2018 ~ it is Brahmothsavam at Thirukachi divyadesam for Sri Devathi Rajar.  On Tuesday, 29^th it is the famed Garuda Sevai and on 2^nd June is Thiruther – tens of thousands of devotees would descend at kanchipuram to have darshan of the brahmothsavam initiated by Brahma himself.

The temple of  Lord DevapPerumal ~ Devathi Rajar, (Sri Varadharajar) and Perundevi thayar  at Thirukachi divyadesam is one of the most divine divyadesams. For Sri Vaishnavaites,  reverence is :   ‘Kovil~Thirumalai~Perumal Kovil’ – [referring to the Divyadesams of Thiruvarangam, Thirumala Thirupathi and Kanchipuram, respectively]

The area where Sri Varadharaja Perumal temple is located is now known as Vishnu Kanchi.  Kanchi has a rich history and was associated with the Pallava dynasty as the Pallava rulers ruled the Thondai mandalam for long. 

ஸ்ரீவைஷ்ணவர்களுக்கு 'பெருமாள் கோவில்' என்றாலே 'திருக்கச்சி தேவப்பெருமாள் சன்னதி' தான்!  பிரம்மன் மோக்ஷபுரியில் அஸ்வமேத யாகம் செய்யும் போது யாக குண்டத்தில் இருந்து சங்கு சக்கரங்களுடன் தேவாதி ராஜர் எழுந்து அருளி, அவருக்கு பிரம்மா ஏற்பாடு செய்த உத்சவமே பிரம்மோத்சவம் என ஐதீஹம்.
