An Inspiring story of a girl in Srivilliputhur

 

Kothai was born in Srivilliputhur to Periyazhwar. Periyazhwar was a Priest/Azhwar. One day when he wanted to offer Garlands to Sri Vatapathrasayee, He saw a beautiful Baby Girl near a Tulsi Pot. He wondered how the baby got here. Periyazhwar took the baby as Blessings from Perumal. He nurtured the baby as his own daughter and named her as Kothai (One with Beautiful Hair). Kothai grew up Hearing Stories of Sri Krishna. Hearing these Stories, Kothai wanted to marry Sri Krishna.

 

In the month Of Marghazhi, Kothai did Pavai Nombu (Karthiyayani Vratam) to marry Lord Krishna, She Composed 30 Pasurams known as Thiruppavai. She tells the Do’s and Don’ts and what to be followed to Attain Moksha.  After a few days, Perumal took an Incarnation and married Kothai. Kothai is known as Andal (THE GIRL WHO WON AND RULED GOD’S HEART).
