Two questions

[Guest guest]

Hi

 

I have two questions in mind. Please, if someone knows, i would like to know.

 

1. A detailed originand meaning about Elaiyavalli?

 

My grandpa used to say Elaiyavalli refers to Lord Lakshmana and

so His descendants are called as such. I can't confirm that but I would

like to know more about from any of you knowledgeables.

 

2. About "brahmotsavam"?

 

I noticed that the brahmotsavam at various temples follow the

same pattern(more or less). What are its origins? What is the significance

that being uniform? why it should be in that order? Like from the flag

hoisting to flag "irakkam". Like garuda sevai on 3rd day, car festival

7th day, hope I am right.

 

Also, only in Mylapore Srinivasar Temple the "utsavar" is carried in

procession by brahmins(exclusively) whether it is during brahmotsavam or for

anyother occasion. Anybody has any experiences.

 

Thanks a lot.

 

Sincerely,

Sriram Elaiyavalli
