Respected srivaishnava bhakthas
  I too belong to Srivilliputtur, born and brought up there. The present car of 
Sri Andal is much reduced in height after couple of accidents like the dome 
falling down and killing some people etc. In those days, the cart would take 2 
to 3 months to come back to the starting place (nilai). Once it took six months 
to come back. For pulling the vadam schools will start late, offices and shops 
will be closed and villagers from around Srivlliputtur will come beating the 
drums. Gone are those joyous days. It is sad that the car has to be reduced in 
size and comes back in a few hours. Price paid for fast living.

          Dear bhakthAs and bhAgavathAs,

adiyen had the bhAgyam of being a one person in the crowd 
during the car festival of Sri AndAl sametha Rangamannar
at Sri Villiputtur on 29th-July. The car was started around
8.15-8.20 A.M. (adiyen didnt noted the exact time) and with
the full crowd of devotees of both gents and ladies tried
to pull the car using big 'vadams'. At the back, was bulldozer
each near the back giant wheel of car trying to push it hardly.

Thanks for the huge crowd which chanted the govinda nama
during the car movement. Many volunteers supported in smooth
moving of the car. One remarkable supporter was Ramco Cements
which supported by placing iron plates under the giant wheel
at the turning of streets.

It was (still it is unforgettable moment!!) great in watching 
Sri Andal with Sri Rangamanar inside the big car moving while the 
garlands worn by both of them shakes slowly.

According to HER in tiruppavai, the devotees performed the
vaaku - chanting govinda naama
manas - thinking about the couples Sri Andal ,Sri Rangamannar
Seiyal - pulling the car - kainkaryam -service to Lord

Afternoon, the car came to its position. Bhakthas were allowed
to have darshan of divine couples inside the car. Then evening
they(divine couples) were brought inside the mandapam where
bharatanAtyam of Andal history was performed.

The next day, they went into nandavanam (periyAlwars' garden
where Sri Andal was found) and then entered into Mirror Hall
(Kannaadi Maaligai). Then we had the darshan of Viswa roopam
of Sri Andal Sri Rangamannar inside the Mirror Hall.
Again it was great feast to eyes, manas, seiyal (worshipping)

After that, adiyEn left to Chennai.

Sri Andal sametha Sri Rangamannar thiruvadigale saranam:

adiyen
senthil.
