Dear Sri Sreekanth,

Arayer Sevai which started long long ago in SrIrangam,now survives in only
4 places-SrIrangam,Srivilliputtur,TirunArayanapUram and Azhwar Tirunagari
and is very popular at Srivilliputtur and Srirangam.

	During the irapathu/pagalpathu festival it is a great experience
to savor Arayer Swamigal's rendering of Muthukuri Vaibhavam,Vyakyanam of
many pasurams,Amrutha manthanam Vaibhvam etc at Srivilliputtur(adiyen
had the bagyam this time to witness some of them and thayar gave me the
strength and aruL to remain awake during those nights).This sevai is also
celebrated very well in SrIrangam(there may be some variations in the
procedure)
 
Some details regarding Arayer sevai are available on the list archives.you
