panguni uthram is the most auspicious day in srIvaishNava calendar. It is the appearance (janma nakshathram) of periya pirAttiyAr and nanjIyar. In many dhivya dhEsams, thirukkalyANam (wedding ceremony) for thAyAr and perumAL is performed on this day. emperumAnAr's gadhya thrayam is also recited at various dhivya dhEsams on this day. Usually, on this day, perumAL will visit thAyAr sannidhi and be there for the whole day until next morning.

In srIperumbUthUr, panguni uthram was celebrated this year in a grand manner. Here is the list of events and their details. Full set of pictures can be viewed at https://plus.google.com/photos/107723698299182214927/albums/6001939370766866225

• emperumAnAr seated to the right of perumAL/thAyArs inside thAyAr sannidhi just outside the mUla sthAnam (main sanctum)

• gadhya thrayam recital - gadhya thrayam is the collection saraNAgathi gadhyam, srI ranga gadhyam and srI vaikuNta gadhyam. This was recited on this same panguni uthram day, more than 1000 years ago by emperumAnAr in front of periya pirAttiyAr and periya perumAL at srIrangam, panguni uthra maNdapam (in the prAkAram of thAyAr sannidhi)
• Night
• emperumAnAr leaves thAyAr sannidhi and returns to his sannidhi.
• perumAL and thAyArs continue their stay at thAyAr sannidhi

It is purely by the divine compassion of emperumAnAr, we are able to enjoy these wonderful anubhavams in various dhiyva dhEsams. Let us be ever grateful to emperumAnAr whose lotus feet are the only refuge for us - "uyya orE vazhi udayavar thiruvadi".
