We spent the whole night of dasami in the temple. I got some very good video of Nam Perumal in Mohini Alankaram giving honors to the Azhvars. Then we went at midnight to the santana mandapa and sat with some friends until 3.30 am and got first darsan of Nam Perumal in Rathnangi Alankaram. After that we went straight in to the sanctum and saw the Muthangi Alankaram on Lord Ranganatha (Moolar). After this we were suposed to go with the procession through the Paramapada Vasal at 4.30 am but they have constructed all metal fences and gates to control the crowd so due to some mixup the police could only find the key for that gate by 5.30 am. This was a bit of a let down as on other years we have been able to go along with Nam Perumal or just after Him through the gate. Anyway the crowd was less because there had been torential rain here for the last two weeks. Now the weather is fine. And we are daily going to the Thirumamani Mandapa (thousand pillared mandapa) for the Ariayar Seva. Keshava das Bhakti devi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
