Thiruppavai Utsavam

The Thiruppavai Utsavam of our Sabha on 30th December, 2012 at Vasantha Mandapam of Sri Ahobila Mutt, Chembur was one of the grand celebration. This celebration was mixed with spiritual and little bit of fun. The Event Management was looked after by Smt. Gayatri Ramaswamy, Smt. Rama Rajagopalan, Mr.Kannan and Mr. Govind. The team had nominated different members as coordinators for each programme. The Event Management Team designed the programme systematically. Each coordinator voluntarily took the responsibility of every Job, starting from registration up to Prize distribution of their respective programme. We had invited special judges for each programme who are professionals in the respective field. Pre Lunch celebration was consists of Drawing Competition and Thiruppavai sadas. It was exclusively for Kids. Post Lunch celebration was entirely for Ladies with Kolam (Rangoli) competition and Kummi Dance competition. The festival started with Welcome address by Sri R.Vedantham . The competition started after the Prayer song by Kumari Janany Govind, Kumari Srinidhi Govind and Kumari Chenchulakshmi Vasudevan. First competition was Drawing. More than 25 Kids aged from 4 to 16, participated in the Drawing competition. We made three different groups according to age and provided different topic. First Group age 5 to 10 yrs Natural scene IInd Group age 11 to 15yrs Theme Any thiruppavai Pasuram IIIrd Group age 16 20 yrs - Theme Any stanza from Varanamayiram Every kid was clear with the concept and started drawing from the word Go. Their talent was appreciated by the Judges and awarded the prizes accordingly. Thiruppavai sadas was the thunderous one. Every kid was giving surprise by narrating the meaning very fluently. Sri U.Ve. parthasarathy Iyengar of Koparpairne, Sri.U.Ve.Saranathachariar and Smt.Prabha Seenesh were the Judges. They appreciated the kids with encouraging words . Sri Saranathachariar suggested to invite couple of participants to give Upanyasam at temple during Danur Maada satrumurai. Judges were surprised that kids were having equal talent and it is difficult to understand and explain the meaning of Tiruppavai even by the elders which the kids done it without any stage fear. Hence we understood their view and agreed to distribute the prizes to all the kids uniformally. Thadiyaaradhanai was provided by the temple with the courtesy from Koil Committee to more than 200 attendees.

Kolam Competition and Kummi competition in the afternoon was equally enjoyable. Every participant had shown their Rangoli Talent . Every Kolam was beautiful and colourful. Four Groups participated in the Kummi Dance Programme. Every one was competing one another with their colourful costume, Rytheme and Music. The Group from Desika Sabha Matunga had performed with live music and was fantastic. The organizers gifted all the participant and audience with Tulasi Plant . Adiyen have forget to add one IMPORTANT thing. Our members had exhibited the History Sri Andal which was unique and great attraction for the attendees. We are thankful to all the Sabha Members, Koil committee members, Participants , Judges and Koil Kainkaryaparal for the successful completion of the Festival. KUDOS TO EVENT MANAGEMENT TEAM.
