My Home town

This post is dedicated to the presiding deity of my home town Tiruvallur Sri Veeraragava perumal .
Its history, significance and other related stuffs you could read it by following the link.

I am going to write about a function called “Thiruppavadai utsavam”.

This is a famous function in which some kind of foods and sweets are made on behalf of a sponsor (ubayadharar) and kept before the deity in the sanctum sanctorum (neivaidyam) and then distributed to the devotees. (Viniyogam).
Then all the devotees were made to sit in a row and foods (prasadams) are distributed to them.
But what one undesirable thing I noticed I noticed is though they made more than 10-15 items they could distribute only 3 items to the common public ( bakta kodigal )

And the remaining items they made it to available for sale….!!!!

What I am proud of this function is people from all forms of the society (like advocates, PG teachers, and govt officials) participated in the function and sit in a row to get the prasadam …….of the GOD. Its really an awe-inspiring affair.....!
