It’s that period of the year, when the dawn commences to the divine chants of Thirupaavai! It’s the beautiful month of Margazhi that has already dawned and is waiting to shower bounties on the beloved!

Margazhi is famous for the 30 beautiful stanzas collectively called Thirupaavai, composed by Kothai, the wonder child born on the day, when the Pooram star shone!
She started as ‘Margazhi thingal..’ beginning to define the essence of the month, in the 1st stanza and goes ahead to ‘Vaiyathu Vaazhveergal..’ elaborating the procedure to celebrate and worship the divine in the 2nd stanza and praises the conquerer ‘Ongi Ulagalandha Uthaman..’ in the 3rd one
It’s 3 days since the dawn of Margazhi and it’s wonderful listening to the poetic lines!
