Thiruvengadam-Thiruppavai

[Guest guest]

Om Sri Venkatesaya namah.

 

dearest bhagavatas,

 

namaskar.

 

i would like to share with u the info i have about thiruppavai recitation at

Thirumalai temple. this partly answers sri govindarajan's question.

 

During dhanurmasam, adhyayana kramam at Thiruvengadam and allied temples is

supposed to be as follows:

 

1. On the first day of mArgazhi, ThiruppaLLiyezhucchi and Thiruppaavai are to be

recited after Thiruvaradhanai to be performed immediately after opening the

temple.

 

2. From the second day onwards, Thiruppalliyezhucchi and thiruppaavai recitation

is to form part of thiruvaradhanai.

 

3. At the end of dhanurmaasam, "mArgazhi nIrAttam" is to be celebrated for seven

days.

 

4. the next day i.e. on makara sankrAnti, ratHotsavam is to be celebrated.

 

5. gOdA kalyanam is to be celebrated on the next

day i.e. the day after pongal, known as "kanumu"

to the people of Thelungu nAttu.

 

6. Since dhanurmAsam forms part of anadhyana kAlam for Alwar aruliccheyal with

thiruppavai and thiruppalliyezhuchi being exception,

"upadESa ratthina mAlai" is to be recited in the noon and "ThiruvAimozhi

nUtthandhAdhi" is to be recited in the evening.

 

as we know, TTD suspends its regular suprabhata sevai during margazhi.

 

Here one important thing is, if "vangakkadal" day is on pongal, it coincides

with rathotsavam.

when is TTD celebrating pongal? on the same day as in other temples? normally it

depends on the

judement of jyothisha pandits of the devasthanam.
