Fesival at Native Temple - Parivettai (3)
Parivettai - 3
One can notice coming out from the inner pooja place
There is an outer way, persons are coming after bath
In wet clothes, step by step as if it appears
They are measuring and counting on something in mind
They are having something in mind that has to be fulfilled
By the Goddess – they may spell out to the Shakti
And the Goddess will help them - they will come
Round and round the ways as they made it in mind
This may be three times, five, nine or even
One hundred and eight times in fasting
And hundred percent that thing in worship
Will be fulfilled by the Goddess
One can see a Flag stump a long one by single wood
It is covered with copper plate fully and having flag like
Build up in metal as a symbol in Hindu temple
This is called kodimaram in Tamil
This is decorated with so much natural things
Coconut fresh, panama trees fresh with panama growth
Turmeric plants fresh and so on
A stone made Nandi devan – bull laid down legs are folded
His head turned one side left is visualized
Devotees are worshiping this nandidevan
They can tell anything to his ears
That they want to pass to the temple’s God and Goddess
Shakti kamahi is the wife of God Shiva named as
Ekambaranathar who is worshiped in the form of
Lingam The all power of Hindus eternal
And endless power
Now the sun has come rising over the edge of
The far end as sky is of bright blue
Parrots, sparrows, doves and other birds too
Leaving nets flying out in search for its needs
Sounds that comes to ears from birds are melodious
And very much musicale eagles and crows
That flies high, cranes white in appearance showing
A line of March in the sky that touch our mind
Teaching us a lesson of neatness and regulation
To add beauty in life
Guru has started his duties taking his washing body
Head to foot water taken from well inside north
He wears soft white dhoti turban ring type
White towel on his shoulder and appears in his
Usual way with viboothi on his forehead, hands
And body as symbolic look
He is having his regular helping hands
Who are all fallowing the regulations and
Rites of the temple to perform pooja
With fresh flowers in the form of garlands
The entrance is decorated with flames of
Lights made out of oil and thread holds
Small fixed lamps around the edges of
The pooja room leaving the passage cleans
Perfumed sticks are lighted, they spread
Smokes nicely everywhere with odor
Pleasing our senses through our breadth
Perfumed smokes are made by special things
And the pooja place appears special now
Drums are played; bells are activated to give sound
To please our senses of hearing and seeing
And devotee’s soul feels happy as fresh flower
God Shiva is having two eyes usual and a third one
At the Centre of fore head in between two eyes
This is not used open – closed always as it will
Evolve fire to burn away anything on punishment
He opened one time to burn away Manahan
Love maker on his anger which is noted and known
In epics, He is the god of destroyer, god of dancer
God of controller of the earth and universe
This festival is celebrated every year regular
In the month of Masi on Maha shiva rathiri day
Devoted to the God - mentioned as Parivettai
Pari means horse, vettai means hunting
-A’yan- 2602010
