Arunachaleswara Abhishekam and Deeparadhana-Post 'pali Viduthal'

On Panguni Uthiram (Full moon in the month of Panguni), the wedding of Arunachaleswara and Apeetha Kuchambika takes place.
On the firth day following Panguni Uthiram, the 'Pali Viduthal' ceremony takes place on the banks of the Tamarai kolam (tank).
After this the procession deities are brought to a Mandapam called 'Raja Mandapam' nearby to the tank for an elaborate Abhishekam and Deeparadhana.
Post that the deities are taken to Kumaran Koil and then finally to the main temple.

At the 'instigation' of a friend and co-devotee I went to Raja Mandapam (first time ever) to videograph the event. Being a small mandapam and crowded, getting a vantage point to shoot was difficult, but the camera managed to do it's best.
In the end the realisation dawned of the infinite 'Kripa' of Annamalaiyar on all of us for this oppurtunity to view it.
