The navarathri celebrations go on for 9 days in the thayar
sannidhi, the Ranga Nachiyar comes out in a procession daily around 5.30.On the
7th day the thayar reveals her Lotus feet to her devotees and this
is known as thiruvadi sevai. People come from near and far, to have dharshan of
this rare sight, which is once a year only.
The thayar is prepared and decorated befitting a queen , she
wears a beautiful white and red saree, wears rubies and diamonds and sits on
her palanquin like a queen,with her feet visible. As usual she holds her palms
in the abhaya hastham all studded with diamonds too, as if to attract people to
her palms which directs them to the right path.
On Vijayadasami day, it is the Lords turn to go out riding.
Rangan in a white veshti looking as elegant as ever, adorned
in simple but very beautiful diamonds and rubies goes out in a pallakku to the
Kattu Azhagiya Singar koil. He stays there till evening granting dharshan to all devotees there. A golden horse is decorated and taken
to the perumal who rides on it while aiming an arrow at the pinna tree there.
In the evening he comes via Sathara veedhi which is the poo
sandhai of Srirangam, as such the devotees there decorate their street with
flowers and flower shamianas.
