Sankaranthi Thirunaal



Sankaranthi festival
It is 7 am  sharp, the SriPadam Thangigal, Maniyakkarar ,
Deepakarars, Aalavattam kainkaryars, Kudai kainkaryakkarar are present
at the sanctum sanatorium for the Kanu purappadu of Namperumal.

HE is behind a Curtain near West side entrance of Santhanu mandapam fully covered in small pearl angi from Head to Toe. This angi is  covered with a white Salla thuni. The crowd today is reasonable but less than
the normal purappadu days being Kanu probably.

HE majestically walks around the Raja mahendran churru and gives
Darshan and Maryadai to HIS commander in Chief, Senai Mudaliyar at the North east corner of this churru.
HE reaches Garuda Mandapam in a short while and there , to the right side of outside of Garuda Sannidhi, waits Nammalwar and Thirumangai Alawar side by side and behind them PeriyaAlwar  (Proxy for AAndal?).
After Darshan and Maryadai to Nammalwar and Thirumangai Alwar, both Alwars give way to PeriyaAlwar for him to have Darshan and Maryadai from Namperumal.
HE reaches , followed by Alwars, to Aaryapadal Vasal where HE turns to give darshan to Udaiyavar and HE walks majestically to Kanu mandapam (near 1000pillar hall) for a whole day stay there.
