Thiruchengattangudi-Padaiyal-22-4-12

The Chithirai Parani falls on 22nd April2012 and this day is celebrated as Amuthu Padaiyal.
Previous day night the Panchamoorthies came in a tall and wide Chapparam.

On 22nd April afternoon (3pm) the Uthirapathy Esawar comes to Chiruthondar's house asking for food and returns to Ganaptheechuram .




 Later Chiruthondar goes to Chengattangudi tempel, Ganaptheechuram and requests Uthraptheeswarar to come home. Uthiraptheeswarar tells  about the food he normally takes (not demands). Chiruthondar agrees to feed him. He brings home Uthiraptheeswarar.

 The cooking was over and Uthiraptheeswarar was served. He requests another Sivanadiyar to take lunch along with him. As no body was found, he requests Chiruthondar to have lunch with him. He then requests Chiruthondar to call his son. Thiruvvenkattud nangai (Chiruthondar wife) calls  "Seerala,  the Sivanadiyar wants him to lunch with him". At this point Seeralan comes running as if returning from the school. The Sivanadiyar and the  food disappears. Sivaperuman appears before Chiruthondar's family in the form of somaskanthar.
