Thanks to the blessings of the Lord, the 4th annual Mahabhishekam at Suraikayur Sri Mahasastha Temple was performed grandly on Sept 4, 2012. The Vettar River, normally in spate during this time of the year, was sadly dry, and the landscape was less green as a result.
It was heartening to see some new faces joining in the celebrations for this annual date with the Lord on Tuesday. God willing, in times to come, there will be a large group of devotees congregating on the North bank of the Vettar every year. As usual, the local residents participated in large numbers.
As is customary, the function began with the abhishekam of Sri Vinayakar, followed by alankaram and deeparadhanai. This was followed by mahasankalapam, kalasa sthabhanam, archanai, homam, elaborate abhishekam of Sri Ayyanar with various vasthus, alankaram, archanai and arathi. Parallelly, abhishekam and alankaram were also performed at the Sivan and Shymala Kali koils. The annual festival concluded with distribution of prasadams.

We pray Sri Ayyanar blesses the land with a good monsoon next year.
The Committee thanks all the devotees who participated in the celebrations. It seeks their continued patronage and participation and hopes many more will join next year.
