The Mylapore Trio explained the Children about the History of Mylapore and
Kapaleeswarar Temple and the importance of the sacred month of Marghazhi during
the walk. Young Childen dressed up in pattu veshti and pattu paavadai chokka
were a treat to our eyes. All men and women too presented themselves in
gorgeous traditional costumes. Venpongal and Sakkarai Pongal were distributed
to one and all at the end. Then all of us had a Dharshanam of the Lord
Kapaleeswarar and Goddess Karpagambal.
According to the “Mylapore Trio”, “Margazhi Procession with Bhakthi & Chillness was a unique and a divine experience for the younger generation. We not only follow the “Footsteps” of the Musical Legends, but also retrace their “Path” on the four Mada Streets of Mylapore in order to inculcate Margazhi Bhakthi among the next generation - a thrilling & chilling experience”. Some of the senior citizens & parents felt that it was a good attempt to start the New Year with an auspicious beginning, by perpetuating the age-old tradition, involving the children. The general public also participated with great enthusiasm and many elders & devotees out of sheer Bhakti circumambulated and prostrated before the children….. A very touching moment indeed…

The Mylapore Trio and Sugathan said that it was the 17th consecutive year that this spiritual walk is being organized. This is the One and Only Children’s Group which has been steadily and regularly performing for more than one and a half decade as Bala Vidhwans - which has definitely created awareness among the public, especially a divine impact in the minds of the children. Their parents too were very enthusiastic to bring their wards early morning for the “Bavani” (Procession) to feel the divine bliss.
