Ist Navaratri Kanya Kolam
Today in Trivandrum, Kumaraswami, Saraswathi Amman and Munnutti Mangai have reached. From tommorrow the navaratri celebrations will start in Trivandrum. There will be Kacheri in Navaratri Mandapam in Padmanabha Swami Temple the coming nine days. These nine days there are nine kritis of Shri Swathi Thirunal Maharaja which will be sung by famous musicians in the kacheri's to follow from tommorrow. This will be telecast by Trivandrum AIR (All India Radio) during the night. All three Gods come from Nagercoil to Trivandrum. These nine days they will be in three temples in Trivandrum and on the 10th day they will return. This is being done for years and years. Full of celebration. I put this kolam as the invitation to these Gods to Trivandrum. Hope you will like the border . This is same kolam only with a small border different.

Very beautifully made kanya kolam, Priya. Cute border designs. and it is interesting to read the write up about the navarathri celebrations in TVM. My father's native is also TVM. Their house is in 1st Putham theru, which is very close to Padmanabha Swami koil.

Thanx every body. I put maa kolam eni only for the poojai dear mahalakshmi. When I put whatever kolam I will upload for you all. Maha even my ammai's native place is 1st puthen street. My patti is famous there her name is karakkudi mami as all call her. Thank you each and every body dear. Julien we put steps and put the small small statues in our home and daily evening we say shobham japam and at least give one sumangali vethalai paakku. I used to read lalitha sahasranamam. Today I gave vethalai pakku to my sister and my mother. Will put more and send for all your comments.

Like everyone else, I too enjoyed your lovely curly 'M's all around the main rangoli. It was thoughtful of you to give us the background behind this event.
