Song 2 – Ganesha Koutuvam

This piece depicts a short procession of ganesha.  “The procession, in this interpretation, is expressive of — and constitutive of — sovereignty over the god’s realm, the recognition and incorporation of people of various castes and neighborhoods as subjects of the Lord, and the articulation of relationships with other divine beings in the locality”.  In simple words processions are meant for elderly and others who cannot go to the temples to see God.
