Vidaiyatri: Of swings and pearl carriages

Varadaraja Perumal KoyilVedapuriswara KoyilBrahmotsavamUnjal UtsavamPurappaduVidaiyatri

Brahmotsavam Day 13 and Brahmotsavam Day 12 respectively, for Sivan and Perumal; Vidaiyatri Day 3 for both. Already we have a sense of the festivals coming to a close with these reposed finales. Umamaheswara sits on a swing in the warm night air, a Mutthu Vimanam simpler by far than the one we saw for the Ramar Utsavam some months before carrying Perumal out with his consorts. These are scenes of beauty, the pastimes of the Gods, their slow withdrawal from the peak intensities of the festivals carried out in their own names.

Perumal Koyil starts Navaratri on Dwitiya, unlike everyone else–we cannot figure out why, since amavasya (associated with pitru karma) is long over by the time of sunrise. We…

Starting Navaratri Before the Sri Vaishnava Navaratri

We go after 9pm. Dance in the makeshift mandapam outside, invoking the Dashavataras. Temple doors only left slightly ajar as everything closes down inside. We are called for the…

Vedanta Desika on the Two Seas

It is the second Saturday of Purattasi, and the temple is thronging. When I reach the temple around 730pm, Desikar was on the first round of his ul-purappadu. He was rounding the…
