I love Mylapore and cannot think of living anywhere else in the world!! Arupathi moovar festival is my favourite time of the year (at par with the Music season). The place transforms to a real village during this time. I could not step out of my home in the evening and later went to see the oorvalam after 8:30 pm. The roads were still crowded and it was wonderful!! The amman is called Mundagakanni (mundagam supposedly means lotus petal). Nice post Aparna.

I was reading a book called the 'Periya Puranam - The story of 63 saivaite saints' . It was really nice to read this article. Will try to participate in the festival next year. Looking forward to more such stuff from you. Very nice article. I was reading a book called the ‘Periya Puranam - The story of 63 saivaite saints’ . It was really nice to read this article.

Read the post in detail..nice description, the 'thiruvizha' atmosphere conveyed well :) Have never been to this myself, but would very much like to, seeing your post, unfortunately don't know when I'll get the chance now :( Can imagine how it would have been in olden days, how would it have been to listen to all night Nadaswaram Thodi by TNR amidst this..hmm.. Leaving for a short vacation for Kerala shortly, a few temples on the agenda. To be honest, am not a big fan of temples or anything, but would be keen to examine architecture, historical facts et al, have learnt a few issues from your posts :) Interesting to know such details..
