Songs of Thirumangai alwar.

Thirumangai alwar belonged to a place called Thirukkuraiyalur. (No he belonged to the mankind.)place one belongs to is usually the place one is born in. He composed beautiful songs in praise of the scenic splendour of Nangoor. the thick groves the verdant fields the dancing peacocks dark rain bearing clouds, the chirping of birds he sings the place is full of tanks on whose banks are lined with beatle nut trees surrounded by coconut groves. he sings even the trees are full of coconuts hanging heavily from the trees and are ripe. likening it to the auspicious and prosperous place the lord resides in he sings sometimes the ripe coconuts fall into the ponds and the fishes scarry away in fright jumping in a wild manner.
more to come.
