There are many temples within Chennai City, which are not very popular, but they have more than hundred years of history. The available inscriptions are recorded by the Tamil Nadu archaeological Department. So decided to visit these temples also. This post will cover the Triplicane Sri Parthasarathy Temple Thiruooral Mandapam at Ekkattuthangal, where, Perumal Visits this mandapam once in a year during January - February.
PC : Thanks to Krishna Vaibhavam
Maha Vishnu of all the temples of Tamil Nadu used to travel many places, once in a year. This makes the opportunity to the Devotees to have the darshan, who couldn’t go to the temples.
The same way Triplicane Sri Parthasarathy ( Krishna as ParthaSarathy, ie Charioteer to Arjuna during Mahabharata war ) used to Visit Ekkattuthangal, every year during January – February and next on 26th January 2023. On that day the Sri Parthasarathy’s Utsava Murti with Bama & Rukmani, will start around 03.00 in a specially decorated palanquin. The first stop will be at the Peyalwar’s birth place at Mylapore. He continued his journey after blessing donors and upahayadhars in front of their house gates. Donors and Upayadhars will welcome Sri Parthasarathy will poorna kumbham, lighting kuthuvilakku, etc,. They also offer Thamboolam, fruits with Coconut, flowers, etc., to Perumal. Perumal will bless the Donors with prasads.
After blessing the devotees on the way, around 13.00 hrs, the procession will reach Ekkattuthangal Thiruooral Utsava mandapam. He used to stay at the mandapam for thirumanjanam and bless the devotees. Around 18.00 hrs Sri Parthasarathy will visit Saidapet Sri Prasanna Venkata Narasimha Swamy Temple. At Saidapet too Perumal will bless the Donors and return back to Triplicane.
