Car festival

 உற்றாரை யான் வேண்டேன்; ஊர் வேண்டேன்; பேர் வேண்டேன்; கற்றாரை யான் வேண்டேன்; கற்பனவும் இனி அமையும் குற்றாலத்து அமர்ந்து உறையும் கூத்தா! உன் குரைகழற்கே கற்றாவின் மனம்போலக் கசிந்துருக வேண்டுவனே! sings Mani cavasagar . Thiruvarur thaer azhagu -   Car is the epitome of beauty .   Thaer Thiruvizha always gathers huge crowd every time its held in each temple. People across ages want to get a glimpse and be a puller too if possible. Chennai famous for various temples still has population engrossed in bhakthi. The recent temple car festival of Mallegeshwarar temple in Muthialpet, Chennai saw people gather early the morning. The Thaer came around the Mada Veedi streets with devotees pulling it through across ages. Houses along these streets came forward to donate food, cool drinks to all the devotees in huge quantities.   This ensured many family in the vicinity managing the Sunday without cooking food at home :)  Siva Siva!
