Also, perumAL goes to the anantAzhvAn nandavanam (the place where srI anantAzhvAn dug a lake and developed a flower garden and provided flowers for the Lord). There is a magizha tree that is believed to represent svAmi anantAzvAn. Honours are given to that tree, and then perumAL goes in the reverse direction back.. adiyEn madhurakavi dAsan, Varadhan
