The pracharaka vehicles of many temples had come and the deities were there. There was kalyana utsavam of Sri Lakshmi Narasimha swamy and Sri Venkateshwara swamy that I was able to see for some time. On the day of kalyana utsavam of Sri Lakshmi Narasimha swamy, right after the marriage of the divine deities took place, there was a heavy downpour.
The event inspiration was from two forces – one our dear Sri Maha Periyavaa and the other was Sri Vivekananda.
There was a big – ‘Viveka Veera Lingam’ – a huge lingam with Sri Vivekananda image embedded inside.
There was the saiva thirumuraigal ratham next to it – to which haarthi was performed regularly.
The event attraction was the talking banyan tree – this was the huge banyan tree that was artificially set up to represent all the 4 vedas, the vedangas including the Dhanur veda, ayurveda, etc.,, the sampradayas and seva trusts which contribute to keep this evergreen tree of Dharma in our bharata varsha.
There were many important people like devotees of Kanchi Kamakoti Mutt,
Sri S.Gurumurthy sir, Sri Ila Ganesan, Sri Raghavan (BJP Spokesperson), Sri Kumari Ananthan and many other swamijis visited the fair and gave moral support to the volunteers.
