On August 4, 2013, Sri Andal in the Veli Andal Sannadhi, Srirangam was in Nachiyar Thirukolam as part of the ongoing Thiruvadipooram Utsavam in this Vijaya Varusham. In order to attain Perumal, Nammazhwar and Thirumangaiazhwar have assumed the role of women. Nammperumal too dons Nachiyar Thirukalam on Dasami prior to Paramapada Ekadashi. However, Perumal, Parankusa and Parakala are men dressed up as Nachiyar but for Andal it is a role that comes naturally.
Today, August 5, 2013, Andal is in Paramapadanatha Alankaram in Veli Andal Sannidhi. AdiSeshan supports Her Thiruvadi by curling up His tail. The following are some of the photographs taken earlier today…
