Annual Vaikunda Ekadasi festival at Srirangam temple concludes with Nammazhwar Moksham ritual, drawing devotees from across India.
The 22-day Vaikunda Ekadasi festival at the Srirangam Sri Ranganathaswamy temple came to a close on Monday with the ‘Nammazhwar Moksham’ that was witnessed by devotees in good numbers in the temple complex.
The ritual signifying Moksham (liberation) was performed for an hour between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m. The idol of ‘Nammazhwar’ was taken out and placed at the Holy feet of Sri Namperumal - the processional deity- marking the end of the annual Vaikunda Ekadasi festival.
Sri Namperumal was thereafter taken in a procession from the Thirumamani Mandapam to the Moolasthanam (sanctum sanctorum). The festival attracted devotees not only from various parts of Tamil Nadu but also from neighbouring States of Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Kerala besides those from some North Indian states.
The highlight of the festival was the opening of the ‘Paramapadhavaasal’ in the early hours on the auspicious Vaikunda Ekadasi day on January 10 when the footfall of devotees reached its peak.
