The same day that Vedapuriswara had the Bhoota vahana veethi purappadu, Perumal matched it coming out grandly on a golden Simha Vahana. To match him and accompany him befittingly were saxophone players dressed in yellow with golden instruments, playing a fine street concert (with all the yellow-yellow flowers of the African copper pod tree fallen on the ground where they played). They’d been called in for this. He was indeed gorgeous and grand on his great golden lion–but today Siva next door stole the show.
Perumal's Brahmotsavam Day 2 Schedule:
07:00 AM: Golden Surya Prabhai Procession (Alankaram was Surya-Narayana apparently) | 10:00 AM: Thirumanjanam
08:00 PM: Procession on Golden Simha Vahanam (Arun’s photos, this was the day of the dozen kombu players at the Sivan koyil)
