Kumbabhishekam - 2002

 
 

The kumbabhishekam went off as usual with lot of joy and enjoyment. Thousands of people from various parts had a darshan of kumbabhishekam and the swamy. Those who cant come to tiruvannamalai had a chance of watching over TV directly. It was very nice.

In the morning after the 10th kala pooja in yaga-sala, the procession started with the kumbh for the abhishekam. Around 9am all the kumbams reached the gopurams and vimanams. At 9.20am abhishekam was performed. Many people had darshan from the nearby mantaps and also from the mountain.

After that around noon maha abhishekam was performed to lord Arunachaleswara and abhithakuchambal. Then thirukalyanam performed.

At night 10'o clock procession started with 108 nadhaswarams. Very big garlands were given to swamy and thousands of people had the dharshan. The procession ended the next day morning. It was a very occassion to see the procession and had a darshan of lord Arunachaleswara on the Rishaba Vahanam.

So for you people, I took some photos of swamy and you can enjoy it. Also I am not a proffessional photographer. Some of the photos may not be clear. Please bear with it.
