Purusha Mirugam will be taken out today

The purusha mirugam vahanam which symbolizes the Shaivaite and Vaishnavite unity, will be taken out in a procession today morning. As the name suggests, he is half man and half animal and is one of the biggest devotees of Lord Shiva. 

Last year, a silver kavacham for the deity was donated by about 20 members of the Thiruvasaga Thirusabhai, a religious organisation who have been active in the Mylapore area since 1996. 

Seen in the picture is the vahanam at the Eastern entrance of Sri Kapali Temple.
