03 Preparation of the Venue

Now that the venue has been selected, Brahma called up on the best of the architect, Viswakarma who is the architect of the Devas. Viswakarma is the architect who designed and executed the construction of Srirangam temple, which is bholaga vaikundam.

Viswakarma started the work of leveling the Hasthi Giri. He embraced all the rules of silpa sastra to construct an Utthara Vedhi to accommodate the Yaga Vedhi (Yaga Saala) and also constructed suitable accommodation for the participants and visitors of the yagam. Brahma inspected the works and was immensely please with the outcome and felt the stage is set appropriately for the arrival of the Lord at the end of the yagam.

Invitations were sent to all the devas and asuras and as the Lord was to appear at the end of the yagam, all were eagerly waiting for the invitation.

Various task such as receiving the guest, taking care of them, providing food were assigned to various devas and all were thrilled to perform the task as they felt they are part of the yagam. Brahma assigned the task of conducting the yagam to the brahma rishis led by Marichee.

As the yagam was to start there was however a small hitch…..
