Swing Mandapam

Swing Mandapam





On the western side of the Golden lily tank ,there is a small  mandapam built in black marble.This is called the swing Mandapam (Nall) or oonjal Mandapam.

Every Friday evening the golden idols of sree Meenakshi and Lord Sundareswara are placed in a swing on the dais of this mandapam.A  String is tied to this swing .A man sits on the floor in front of the swing and pulls it so that the swing moves to front.Now this mandapam is decorated fully with design mirrors.

On other days ,Tamil hymns are sung by odhuvars who sit in front of the swing dias.

The six shrines of Lord Muruga are painted  on the side walls above the dias opposite the swing mandapam,there is a small mandapam here,we can see artistic paintings painted during Rani Mangamma's time .The statues of Rani Mangamma her minister Ramapayy and grandson Vijaya ranga chockanathar,also find  a place in this mandapam.
