Dedicated to Pillayar

One of the things that I have seen every year twice is that our nagar pillayar visiting all of our streets.... I wanted to record this moment on my blog.... Sometimes we often pray for all those famous deities around the country but ignore the one that exists in our neighbourhood. The local nagar temple is where you usually go for all the auspicious day and that god holds greater importance than the famous deities all over the world.

As a kid I have walked all over my nagar along with the ratham, first time I was holding the theevati "apo naan theevati pidika thaan layaaku" :-) , i think the very next year I was bursting crackers on the road before the ther enters the street kind of an announcement to the members in that area that the ther is going to enter your street and a year after I have been holding mic for the uncle who makes announcement " Sri Gnana Sithi vinayar thiruvarutsangathin oru mukkiya arivuppu, innum sattru nearthil minvillakukalaal alangarika patta theril sri gnana sithi vinayagar ungal veedhiyil ula vara irukirraar... baktha kodigal thayaraaka irukkumaaru kettu kolaa padukiraargal" .. i think after that i have not participated in the occassion... may be i should start doing it from next time...
