Thiru maal irum sOlai - part 11 - azhagar tharum "aadai"

thiruk kuRippu

(the holy clues provided by Lord azhagar through HIS

dress for the festival)

There are other important aspects one must also note. It

is said in the earlier part that the people in the

neighborhood villages worship *towards the direction* of

the malai in belief that this (the azhagar hills) is

Lord Vishnu itself. Many people also come out to see

the Lord in person during this festival. The Lord don't

disappoint them it seems and brings some gifts (varam or

boon) for them it seems. Most of the people will jump

to see closely Lord azhagar atleast once as they close

the gap and move closer to HIM. They see the "color" of

the dress lord Azhagar is wearing for this thiru vizhaa,

during that year's festival every year. The dress Lord

azhagar is wearing and the "produce" or "thaaniyam" that is to be

harvested are connected with each other. ie. All these

people and all farmers from around believe that lord

Azhagar blesses a bumper harvest for that particular

crop that year and that HE signals it through the color

of HIS dress. This have *never* failed. And so are the

belief of these people on Lord azhagar to deliver this

clue every year. This faith has no comparison. This

festival takes place for 9 days. This festival is known

as "madurai thiruvizhaa". This is the biggest and

holiest festival for the entire madurai district and

neighborhood.
