Thiru Mukkoodal Appan Venkatesa Perumal Temple –
Festivals
Kanchi Varadar’s annual visit to Thiru Mukkoodal:
Kanchipuram
Sri Varadaraja Perumal’s Parivettai is a very popular festival here. Five
Perumals - Lord Varadarajaswamy of Kanchipuram, Lord Lakshmi Narasimha, Pazhaya
Seevaram, Sri Appan Venkatesa Perumal, Thirumukkudal and two other Perumals of
nearby temples meet together at Thirumukkudal temple courtyard and stay in
different mandapas on Kaanum Pongal Day - Tamil month 'Thai' (16th
January), which is said to be a delight to watch. On this evening, Lord
Srinivasa of Thiru Mukkoodal welcomes Salavakkam Perumal and Pazhaya Seevaram
Narasimha, Kanchi Varadar as well as other one nearby Perumal at this temple.
Later in the evening, all these five deities go out on a street procession
around Thiru Mukkoodal.
