Every year, in srIperumbUthUr, on kArthigai thiruvAdhirai vanabhOjanam uthsavam is celebrated. Adhi kEsava perumaL with ubhaya nAchiyArs and emperumAnAr goes on a beautiful sojourn to jIyar thOttam (garden) which is situated near the srIperumbUthUr bus terminus. The whole day is filled with various activities with grandeur. This year too, the uthsavam was celebrated with great enthusiasm for the pleasure of emperumAn, his nAchiyArs and emperumAnAr. Here is a brief account on the various activities that happened on Nov 21st. Full set of pictures can be seen at https://plus.google.com/photos/107723698299182214927/albums/5948867922808389297.

  • Morning

    • Wonderfully decorated emperumAn, nAchiyArs and emperumAnAr begin their journey to the garden surrounded by many umbrellas (both for protection from sun and to show that they are supreme as large umbrellas indicate supremacy generally).

    • After reaching the garden, a short dharshan of emperumAn, nAchiyArs and emperumAnAr on Unjal (jhUla - swing) was observed.
    • In between, at vAnamAmalai mutt, there was upadhEsa rathina mAlai gOshti and sARRumuRai for thiruvAdhirai.

          • kaliyan requests emperumAn to acknowledge thiruvAimozhi to be the same as vEdham and include recital of the same that during vaikuNta EkAdhasi celebrations. emperumAn agrees. On the order of emperumAn, nammAzhwAr arrives at srIrangam from AzhwAr thirunagari and enjoys the adhyayana uthsavam along with periya perumAL. Thus began the tradition of reciting thiruvAimozhi during adhyayana uthsavam.
          • Subsequently, during nAthamunigaL's time the whole dhivya prabhandhams are classified and organized by nAthamunigaL. He also arranged for other dhivya prabhandhams to be recited during adhyayana uthsavam.
          • During emperumAnAr's times, seeing the difficulties in bringing nammAzhwAr over from AzhwAr thirunagari every year, emperumAnAr orders nammAzhwAr thirumEni (vigraham/deity) to be established in every dhivya dhEsam and adhyayana uthsavam to be celebrated in a grand manner in each dhivya dhEsam.
