The sacred ritual emphasizes the reverence with which the divine is approached, to enlighten us. Om Namah Shivaya!
Harmony in Music:
The air resonates with the soul-stirring notes of Shahnai or Nadaswaram, played by renowned artists with a legacy that echoes through revered places like Thirumalla, Kumbakonam, and Kanchi Kama Koti Peetham. These accomplished musicians, booked six months in advance, infuse the surroundings with celestial melodies, creating an ambiance of divine communion. A quintet of artists, comprising two on Shahnai, two on Dolu, and one handling Shruti and Taalam, orchestrates a symphony that transcends the earthly realm. The melodic strains serve as a prelude to the sacred rituals that follow, preparing hearts for the imminent procession.
