But Lord Parthasarathy has given us the oppurtunity for today's generation to have this beautifull occasion which no one can forget.

The Program is as follows:->

First Mangalasaasanam is done for Peyalwar in Sri Adhikesava perumal koil at 2pm on that day. Then he is placed in a Muthu Palakku(Pearl palaquin), and starts his journey to triplicane, on the way, he accepts Mandapapadi in his Avatharasthala there at Mylapore, after that he continues his journey, then at 4pm attains the Ellai(Triplicane starting place), waits for Sri Parthasarathy's Mariyadhai or Aakvanam(Invitation with honour).
