The Koodal Azhagar Perumal Temple is one of the 108 Divya Desams, the important Vaishnavite temples associated with the Sri Vaishnava tradition. The temple also has the distinction of having received Mangala Sasanam from the Alvars, making it an important religious destination for Vaishnavite devotees visiting Madurai.
The Five Garuda Sevai is being organised as a special event on the occasion of Purattasi Pournami. The event will take place today, September 26, at 6:30 p.m. along the Masi streets. Devotees are expected to gather in the area to witness the religious procession and seek darshan of Perumal.
Garuda Sevai holds an important place in Vaishnavite worship, with the deity traditionally taken out in procession on the Garuda vahanam. Purattasi is considered a significant month for Perumal worship, and the special observance on the full-moon day adds importance to the festival at the Koodal Azhagar Temple.
The Masi streets provide the setting for the Five Garuda Sevai, allowing devotees to witness the procession outside the temple premises. Devotees are expected to arrive ahead of the scheduled time and participate in the special religious observances.
The event is particularly noted for its association with Purattasi Pournami. According to the information provided for the festival, although some other temples conduct Garuda Sevai involving more than five Garuda processions, the Five Garuda Sevai held on Purattasi Pournami at the Koodal Azhagar Perumal Temple is considered a distinctive feature of this temple.
The festival is therefore expected to draw devotees from Madurai and surrounding areas. The religious event also highlights the continuing significance of the Koodal Azhagar Temple among the major Vaishnavite shrines of the city.
Devotees have been informed that the Five Garuda Sevai will be held at 6:30 p.m. today along the Masi streets as part of the Purattasi Pournami observances at the Koodal Azhagar Perumal Temple.
