Moderator Note: Dear svamins, This issue has been addressed by Sri Thirumalai 
parasara bhattar swamy directly by sending mail to both Sri Sridhar and to 
enthralling archa group and the captions 'srirangam' has been removed from the 
site now.  

srImathE rAmAnujAya namah

dear svAmis,

it is true that we should rise above kalai issues/differences. And it 
is also correct that bhAgawathas are doing wonderful service to
bring photos/pictures of AchAryAs to the desktop of people around 
the world - hence, instead of being thankful to them, questioning 
their motives is not correct.

However, I do not think that anyone is dragging AchAryAs into the
debate if they ask why something is this way, or that way,
 when what they see is very different from their experience. 

It is a fact that koorattAzhvAn's descendants do not wear the 
thirumaN depicted in the photos. Moreover, in the 
KooorattAzhvAn/bhattar sannadhi in the great temple at srIrangam, 
which is taken care of by the descendants of kooorattAzhvAn, one does 
not see AzvhAn/bhattar with this thirumaN.

In my opinion, the best way to not make this an issue would be to 
clarify where the photo was taken from, and explain why (if 
known), the mUlavar vigrahas adorn this kind of a thirumaN (some 
thing as simple as "this is taken from X sannadhi, and those who take 
care of the sannadhi belong to Y sampradayam"  would have provided
the answer to the question). 

Questioning the motive behind a question, rather than answering it
just seems to make the issue more problematic.

Just my opinion..

adiyEn madhurakavi dAsan,
varadhan

forgive me for my mandha-buddhi, but I am surprised to see 
KooratthAzhwAn and Parasara Bhattar adorning Desika Sampradaya 
thirumaNs? Can somebody kindly clarify??
