Poongavanam Thiruvizha 2026 - Day 26 | London Sri Selva Vinayagar Temple | UK Tamil Vlog

Hi friends / Vanakkam friends 🙏 Welcome to the 23rd Annual Mahotsava Hindu Festival 2026 at London Sri Selva Vinayagar Temple, located on Ley Street, Ilford, East London, UK. In this video, we are going to witness the annual festival (Thiruvizha/திருவிழா), a vibrant and spiritual Hindu celebration as the temple welcomes devotees to this special event. Watch as devotees from India, Sri Lanka, the UK, and around the world come together in devotion, filling the temple with traditional sounds such as Nadaswaram and Thavil, vibrant rituals, and a spiritual atmosphere. Poongavanam Thiruvizha, meaning “flower garden festival” in Tamil, is a beautiful celebration held after the Chariot Festival (Ther), giving Lord Ganesha (Pillaiyar) a symbolic time to rest. During this day-long devotion, Pillaiyar is placed in a serene setting—often lying down or seated prominently, sometimes outdoors—while devotees offer vibrant performances of music, dance, and art. These acts are more than entertainment; they are heartfelt offerings to the divine, reflecting Tamil culture’s deep connection between faith, beauty, and community. If you enjoy this glimpse into our beautiful tradition, don't forget to like, share, and subscribe for more videos from this year's festival and beyond.
