- What is the story behind the Chithirai festival?
Every year in April-May, tens of thousands of people visit Madurai to take part in the Chithirai festival. Huge, colourful chariots are drawn through the streets of Madurai in a re-enactment of the celestial wedding of Lord Sundareshwarar and Goddess Meenakshi. The festivities are centred around two ancient temples, the Kallazhagar temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu, and the Meenakshi temple dedicated to Goddess Meenakshi. But did you know that the festival in its current form was the creation of a king Thirumalai Nayak, who ruled over Madurai in the 17th century? What is the story behind this grand festival that connects two prominent temples and brings a whole town together?

How wonderful is this. How much I miss Madurai, the place that formed much of my life shaping who I am in the fifty years that have come since I last lived in this celestial city. I dream of when I return. Thank you so much for uploading this tasty treat.
Your tale somewhat matches my own experience and upbringing 😊
It's Pandyan Empire Capital. Longest ruled empire in world history
Hi Daniel - That's lovely to hear. Do you care to throw more light on your association with the city?
South India festival number 1 festival 🎏🎏
Storytrails,
You have just done a wonderful job of compiling the intricacies in the Great Chiththiraith Thiruvizhaa!!
A very large story and part of history, the Chiththiraith Thiruvizhaa has been given by you in a nutshell, the nutshell itself is big enough to give almost all detaisl.
Thanks a lot to you and the videographer for a detailed capture of the event!
Thanks again!
So wonderfully made, Thanks mates, keep up the Good Work🎉🎉🎉
Amazing ❤🎉 being a tamilian I didn't know that a king made this as a one big festival ! Thanks guys
Thank you for this beautiful story, Now this festival is on my bucket list.🙏
lovely story
Madurai pandier King Tamilnadu 💪🤴👸🎏🎏🎏
Thanks for this! This channel has brought out the finer historical aspects of South India but they are kind of short leaving us wanting more. If possible, consider doing podcast interviews with eminent historians, archaeologists and the like so we can get more insights. It need not be a traditional sit down podcast but can happen in actual historical sites. Just a feedback. Thanks for the stellar work!
In odisha on makara sankranti day ... both vaishnavas and shaivas come together putting shiva and vishnu both on the same ratha and devotees pulling it ... we also have many temples where we have hari hara lingas
Beautiful story / facts of different eras......Real good work by ur team.
Excellent
Very interesting. In the modern world, people mistake such "stories" and have forgotten the real "religion". Thanks for the very interesting post. 2. If you get some time, please try to post some details of the "battle of Adayar", I grew up on the banks of the Adayar river. Thanks.
3. Also, another "story". There is a small village called Moolanur, between Dharapuram and Palani. There is a temple here. The Goddess is Vanji Amman. The main sanctum sanctorum is very simple and has a small sized deity. The local folklore, atleast when I was a young kid, says that this is the temple that the great Cheran king built for Kannagi. Nowadays, I read quite a bit that the Cheran kings ruled from Karur, which is quite close to Dharapuram. Moolanur Vanji amman is my kula deivam. Thanks.
Fantastic story and more mesmerizing is the way that you have told it
Great video guys... Hope to see more content from your channel
Very nice💯
I’ve become big fan of this channel ! Awaiting more such videos.
One of my favourite channel. Thanks for informative video as always 😇🙏
Best wishes
Thank you so much for the hard work your entire team is doing to bring these beautiful cultural finesse to the larger public 🙏
Kallalagar means Alagar belonging to kallars.
The real story was Alagar who was on the way to marrriage halted in the place of Kallars. As part of gesture Alagar drank 'kal'( same like wine). Because of this he was late to marriage.
Since Alagar halted with kallars , he was called "Kallalagar".
Ok, this version of the story is different from what I was aware of. I recently came across a video by Bharathi Bhaskar, which has a slightly different narrative. Because you are doing so many other videos on our culture, it might help watching that too.
Different than this? 🙄 I want to know what is that story? Can you elaborate it
MadAm neenga செம அழகு ❤️😍🌹♥️💞💕
🎉🎉🎉❤🎉🎉🎉
there is also a movie called Meenakshi sundereshwar
which is an awful movie
😢ewanda meenatchi koyil rama namam pottu eamargurawan.
Hindu religious festival celebrated by all religion people, Only sangis are not allowed . Event managed by Atheist ruling party. Thats Tamilnadu.
Keep up the Good Work.
I would request to make a video of Sufi Shrine in Madurai which had the Patronage of Pandya kings and the city's secular credentials
You're secularism is like dung in rice. Islam is foreign and alien to India. You're like a crow with peacock feathers

Thoroughly researched and well presented. But one thing I think needs to change is the usage of the prefix Lord. I don't think Siva or Vishnu are lords. In Telugu we address Siva as Sivudu. The use of the word Lord is prevalent but not pertinent. If we are to create our very own narratives albeit in the english language, we might as well right such wrongs along the way. Cheers.
You are telling the king made up a story and fooled us ? Are you really having a sound mind? You think we are idiots
“The story was made up by the king.” No shit 😅
This is bullshit. Vishnu is Buddhi Viveka, Shiva is consciousness and Parvati is Prakruti. This is no story
Well it is true that Vishnu is considered brother of Parvati
But thay stody that he came from the temple and couldn't attend wedding is not true
Shiv shakti didn't married in madurai that's why
@@Boba-hj2hxyes they did but not in the present madurai, the real one sunk 12500 years ago
Please free the elephant and let the elephant live free in a sanctuary. The head shaking in the to and fro motion is a well know stress behaviour. Elephants need thier families. They live in a group. Not alone. Please stop this torture of elephants in temples. Please do not abuse animals in the name of Hinduism. Why collect negative karma????
Not just this elephant. No more elephants for temples. Retire them all to a sanctuary. No more domestication of elephants.
You are wrong, friend!
Cruelty to animals is a filthy myth floated by PETA and the like, the Fake Animal "Lovers!"
By your own line of thoughts and outburst,
can you free ALL animals into sanctuaries?
Cows.
Bulls,
Sheep.
Cats.
Dogs.
Horses.
Camels.
Donkeys.
Mules.
Elephants.
Pigeons.
Parrots.
Parakeets.
Love-birds.
Hen and Cocks.
- - - and of course Fish!
- - - - - and a large list of DOMESTICATED animals and creatures.
Massive urbanization has almost scorched 80% of all forms of forest and jungles.
Then where can you to for such large areas of sanctuaries?
Are you going to raze the cities and metros and reforest them?
Among the millions of wild animals, some few CHOSE to live with Humans.
They know nothing about wild life and of course the Melting Hearts of PETA!
In fact, elephants have so much strength that a few links of iron chains cannot restrain them in custody!
If they choose to break free, then the Mahout of the chain or the Ankush, all are a mere hay to the elephant, cannot stand in between.
We nurture some 70 different types of creatures and birds and animals in our farmlands.
Every one share our produce on their will and are freely free to come and to at their won will!! For the past five or six centuries as Organic Farmers.
Do you call this Cruelty to Animals!
And do you suggest that we turn our farmlands into Sanctuaries?
Then how about "Cruelty towards Plants and Insects?"
Don't you EVER consider them as living things?
If you know really a tweeny bit of Hinduism and Sanaathanam, you can remember that
we the HIndus, made is a custom to draw Kolam in our front yards and varanda, with RICE FLOUR to feed the Ants!!
Do a lot of real homework before - yes BEFORE melting for Animals!
