She is worshipped as an incarnation of Bhu Devi - the heavenly consort of God - Lord Narayana. Andal is one of the twelve Alvars* - saint poets of Vaishnavite tradition. Her father Vishnu Chitha is known as Perialvar (great among Alvars). Based entirely on Perialvar and Andal Pasurams (verses), this production takes a fresh look at the story of Andal and how she desired to be wedded to none other than Lord Narayana. *Alvar means one who is "immersed" in the experience of God, the Supreme Being. Alvars sculpted the Vedic heritage of intensely emotional bhakti, the love of the divine, and Prapathi, unconditional surrender to the Lord. This heritage continues to be practiced today in Indian religious life through Sri Ramanuja’s philosophy.
