Sri Andal during Piriyavidai

During the Piriyavidai Utsavam Sri Andal with all her alankarams goes to the vatapatrasayi temple and asks vatapatrasayi perumal permission to do the margazhi nonbu.Sri Andal goes to the mahamandapam of the Vatapatrasayi Sannidhi and there the ekantha thirumanjanam is held

Then with Sri Andal and Periaperumal together,thiruvaradhanam and veda vinappam is held.Then the Sacred door is shut down. It is believed that Andal takes leave from periyaperumal for doing the margazhi nonbu.
