10th January 2017.
This is one of the wishes to see the
aArudra darshan of Sri Natarajar at Uthirakosamangai, made out of a precious
green emerald stone “Maranatha”. Also many times Manickavasagar praised
Lord Shiva of Uthirakosamangai in Thiruvasakam. The abhishekam will be done
once a year and for the rest of the period, the Natarajar will be coated with
sandalwood paste. It came true on the 10th and 11th of January
2017. Usually, the Arudra darshan happens during December
month and I was forced to stay in Chennai to attend official duty. This
year I was so happy since it happened in the second week of January and
planned my travel 3 months in advance.
When I spelled out my plan to
Uthirakosamangai visit, my friends suggested going to Thirupullani, one of
the 108 Divya Desam / Mangalasasana Vaishnava temples and Devipattinam associated with epic
Ramayan. Utilizing the opportunity booked the onward ticket to Rameswaram to
have the darshan of Lord Sri Ramanathaswamy. While traveling on the train it
was observed that many people were planning to attend Arudra darshan at
Uthirakosamangai.
Landed in Rameswaram on the 10th morning
through Rameswaram Express and had the darshan of Sri Parvathavardhini
samedha Sri Ramanathaswamy. During my previous visit, the temple was preparing
for the Kumbhabhishekam. The details and some of the photos taken are uploaded
in one of my previous posts ( Click
