Where was our pillaiyar?
  • Hi all,
    That was good one from Sundar B and Kamal. I am just curious.. Where
    was Ganesha, when they idolized Somaskanda? According to the hindu
    mythology, isnt he Murugan's elder brother? (That's what I have seen
    in movies :) )
    Anybody knows?

    Lord G *is* the elder brother of Lord M, Thilak. [(kinda like Sri and
    you:-)- but I'm NOT trying to bring out comparisons!].

    He is/was pretty popular in the North- but as it so happens, the only event
    I'm sure of the Pillaiyar that supposedly nestled in the walls of the
    fortress of Vathapi (the one Senathipathi Paranjyothi took away and brought
    to Thamizh Nadu). Legend says that this Pllaiyar is the one that can be
    found in Patteeswaram.

    Legend indeed.
