Elaborate Arrangements Made For Kallalagar's Vaigai Entry
SEVERAL thousands of devotees watched the celestial wedding of goddess Meenakshi and Lord Sundareswarar that was solemnised by priests in mithuna lagnam between 8:35 am and 8:59 am on Thursday amid chanting of Sanskrit mantras.
The ceremonies started at 4 am with Odhuvars singing hymns from the Thirumurai. The processional deities of Lord Pavala Kanivai Perumal and Lord Subramaniya Swamy from Thiruparangundram temple arrived at the thirukalyana mandapam around 6 am, following which the deities of goddess Meenakshi and Lord Sundareswarar were brought to the mandapam in a procession at 8.15 am. The deities were adorned in a green attire with gem-studded ornaments and armour (Kavacham).
As the celestial wedding took place, married women changed their mangalsutra, a tradition followed in the temple. After the wedding ceremony, the deities remained in the mandapam till Thursday evening for devotees to have darshan.
