Pazhaiya Seevaram Paarivettai (tEpperumAL)

[Guest guest]

SrI:

 

Dear SrIvasihnavas,

 

Pazhaiya Seevaram aka Sripuram, is a lovely little village with a temple for

Lord Narasimha atop a small hillock, about 15 km east of Kanchipuram on the

road to Chengalpattu.

The hill temple is visited by Lord Varadaraja (tEpperumAL) of Kanchipuram on the

day following Makara-Sankaranthi, for what is known as ``Pazhaiya Seevaram

Paarivettai''.

Paarivettai is observed to mark the destruction of evil forces by the Lord and

is celebrated in almost all SrIvaishnavite temples.

 

SrI.Vanamamalai Padmanabhan svami has captured a few snaps of Devaperumal

(Kanchipuram) while visiting this hilltop temple during Paarivettai, two days

back.

Thanks to SrI.Padmanbhan svami, who describes the arial view as: " the steps

leading to Sri narasimhar temple, the mandapam-s, the sprawling palar river-bed

bereft of water, (it is said that the water runs underneath) the devoteees and

the visitors."
