These events do happen regularly every year. Also,
perumAL goes to the anantAzhvAn nandavanam (the place 
where srI anantAzhvAn dug a lake and developed a 
flower garden and provided flowers for the Lord). There 
is a magizha tree that is believed to represent svAmi
anantAzvAn. Honours are given to that tree, and then 
perumAL goes in the reverse direction back..
