Thirumylai Sri Peyalwar purappadu with Sri Parthasarathi.

 I had posted in detail on Muthal Azhwargal of our  Srivaishanva Tradition, and the mangalasasana purappadu of Sri Peyalwar from his place in Sri Adhi Kesava Perumal Thirukovil at Thirumayilai to Thiruvallikkeni. 

Azhwar was received with ‘Thirukovil mariyathai’ of Sri Sadagopam in a pallakku accompanied by Senai Muthalvar.  Then Sri Peyalwar reached the thirukovil through Peyalwar kovil Street.  Inside the temple, Azhwar mangalasasanam took place in the Periya sannathi,  Vedavalli thayar, Gajendra Varadhar, Thelliya Singar and Andal sannathies.

In the evening of 18^th Nov 2014, there was grand purappadu on the occasion of Ekadasi with Azhwar and Sri Parthasarathi.  Perumal perhaps was delighted with Sri Peyazhwar accompanying him – dazzled with so many thiruvabaranams (jewels) and unforgettable hair style (kondai) embellished by peacock feather (mayil peeli) – matched the description of Sri Periyalwar “ கருங்கண் தோகை மயிற்பீலியணிந்து கட்டி நன்குடுத்த பீதக வாடை; அருங்கலவுருவினாயர் பெருமான்”  ~ Periyazhwar describes Lord Krishna, the beautiful cowherd Lord as adorning the hairdo  with peacock feathers having dark centre spots, many jewels over his properly-worn  silken vestments.

It was delightful to have darshan of Perumal and here  are some photos taken during the purappadu at Thiruvallikkeni on 18^th Nov 2014 – Ekadasi – Mylai Sri Peyalwar Mangalasasanam day.

Adiyen Srinivasadhasan.
