For the second time at Srirangam Temple, a great grand golu was kept, as an offering to the Lotus Feet of Goddess Ranganayaki Thaayar & Sri Ranganathar. The theme was “Dhasa Mahathmiyam”, Which included Dhasavatharam and Dhasathathvam and Paramapathanaathar at the Centre. The golu was inaugurated by The Mylapore Trio and Sugathan by lighting the Kutthu Vilakku along with other VIPs - Collector of Trichy, Tamil Nadu Govt. Chief Whip, Srirangam MLA, Joint Commissioner of Srirangam Temple, the temple chairman and the chairman of the TVS group – Shri. Venu Srinivasan and the popular Auditor Gurumurthi and all others appreciated and honoured the Mylapore Trio and Sugathan for their dedicated service, earnest effort in putting up this divine and creative display of dolls in a thematic manner. Smt. Thirumagal Additional Commissioner HR & CE also visited the golu and was amazed at its divinity and grandeur. She appreciated The Mylapore Trio and Sugathan for their dedicated efforts. Lakhs of people from different cross section of the society witnessed the blissful festival at the sacred 1000-pillared hall in the Srirangam Temple during those Ten days. On the final day Sugathan presented a lone divine performance as Aatma Nivedanam to the lord in the midst of divine dolls at the Golu Mantapam. It was indeed a very great Bhaagyam for us to be at the beck and call of Lord Ranganathar at the doorstep of the heavenly Thirumaamani Mantapam at Bhooloka Vaikuntam all through the Navarathri.
