The last few shows have been dedicated to Tirukkazhukundram. This is located about 14km from chengulpet and is also known as Vedhagiri or Vedhachalam. The four vedas are present here in the form of hills. The main temple is atop the 500 foot hill representing the Atharvana veda. There is also a temple at the foot of the hill which is commonly knows as “Thaazhakkovil” where Bhathavatsaleswarar and Tripurasundari are the presiding deities. It is said the the Shiva idol atop the hill and the Ambal idol at the bottom are swayambhu idols. Vazhai maram is the Thala vriksham and hence the place is also referred to as Kathali puram. Rudrakoteeswaram is located near the thaazhakovil on which Manikkavasagar has sung.
Smt. Gayathri Girish sang a virutham beginning with “Urukkam ula oru dadhi nachi muthu enum” in Saveri and Brindavana Saranga. This was followed by the tiruvasagam verse “Pinakkilladha perum thirai” in Mohanam. She closed with a verse composed by Pamban swamigal in Sankarabharanam starting with “Vanakkum pinakkum tharum”.
