A local artist has been called in to draw a photographic kolam of Balavinayaka. Nine Vinayakas get abhishekam here: Karpaka Vinayaka, Vaayir Vinayaka, Siva Vinayaka, Shakti Vinayaka, Polla Vinayaka (who is said to have revealed the tevaram manuscripts to Nambi), Narttana Vinayaka (koshta), Somaskanda Vinayaka, Bala Ganapati (outer prakaram, back), Kashi Viswanatha Vinayaka, Siddhi-Buddhi Vinayaka.
The evening procession begins just as we get there. One ul-purappadu then out and away. Perhaps the most beautiful Vinayaka procession alankaram of the day. The colours are bright and vibrant, but not extravagant and flashy. They’re as though subdued, yet rich and deep. His proportions are very well balanced. And adding another layer of charm and puzzling curiosity is the elephant vahana on which this elephant-headed-one is carried!
