Summary of Thirunangur - thirunagari mahotsavam

SrI:

Dear SrivaishNavas,

The 'enthralling archa' team thanks SrI Vanamamalai Padmanabhan swamy & SrI Sreekanth swamy for taking us to thirunAngUr virtually.

Although they are part of the team that has brought this group to this level, we feel that they have to be thanked profusely for this chitra-kaimkaryam.

As they felt that the whole lot of the nectar-like pictures can not be consumed by us in a single day, they decided to split them thematically and explain the whole utsavam. When we visit these divyadesams next time, we will definitely have a different joyous anubhavam.

We have been traversing through the length and breadth of TirunAngur from Tirunagari and back.

It is Tirumangai AzvAr all the way.

Unlike in other pAsuram-s, the kAzhich SirAma viNNagaram Tirumomozhi is unique in several respects.

In the final pAsuram Azvar lists out his names with tremendous glee.

aruL mAri, araTTA mukku, aDaiyAr sIyam.

This is apart from his usual style of parakAlan, irun thamizh nUl pulavan and poimai onRillA pulamai ALan.

These pictures of AzvAr are cynosure to the eyes. 'kANa ayiram kaN vEANDumEa.

It is a treat to view these excellent pictures Divyadampathi, AzvAr and NAchiyAr.

Sri MaNavALa mAmunikaL who had spelt out the wonderful work 'vaDivazhagu' on AzvAr is undoubtedly the only work on any of the AzvArs. The beauty is picturised in wonderful verses.

The pictures of Sri MAmunikaL- vAdivazhagu aLitha perumAn- Eettup perukkar -The Periya JIyar

can also be enjoyed.

We can all view these pictures tomorrow .

Thanks for your time.
