The following posting from Sriman P.Dileepan

with today's Svathi Celebrations for Garudan
as well as for Sri Lakshmi Nrusimhan at Ahobilam .

Please plan your trip to Ahobilam to coincide with
a SvAthi nakshthram day .You would have a great 
anubhavam of Lord's Thirumanjanam at the nine sannidhis .
Best wishes,
