mind is Andal's Thiruppavai which holds special significance when sung
during this month. Belonging to the genre of 'Pavai', Thiruppavai sung
during this month hold importance even for unmarried girls.

around one main theme, with a precise introduction followed by the need
of fulfillment for the same. It is also believed that one can wash out
sins by singing Thiruppavai every day. Even in temples, the Thiruppavai
is sung early in the morning. Moreover, it is during this time of the
year, in the Margazhi month t when the holy star Mrigashirsha combines
with Poornima thithi.
'Maargazhi Thingal' is the first one amongst the
collection. Usually these hymns portray Lord Krishna/Narayana as the
Hero. Incidentally this paasuram was also used in the movie 'Sangamam'
by A.R.Rahman as a prelude to the song 'Margazhi Thingal Alava'. 'Ongi Ulagalandha', the third paasuram is also a very famous one and is widely
known due to its easily hummable tone.

time frame which makes it auspicious. Overall, Andal's Thirupavai
creates an imagery of the Lord himself. A work that depicts utmost
devotion to her hero , Lord Vishnu in his various forms. As we step into
