False Ceiling- Ceiling of
Fire
The contemporary world is not content with
just stone and mortar game. It needs more. The mason provides the concrete
jungle camouflaged by paintings. However, here comes the interior decorator with
his fanciful thinkings concretised and transform the structures with false
ceilings, false doors, false floors including false flowers -artificial and
paper flowers and so on and so forth.
The Lord Almighty's bedroom is decorated
by none other than our thiru-ananthAzhwAn.When the Lord lies down he becomes his
bed ".. pulgum aNaiyAm thirumARku aravu" is it
not? While being so, the thousand mouth emit fire and lO! these circle and
permeate the vacant space and form themselves into a decipharable design.The
balls of fire accumulate and gather into what appears like a covering on
the top, made of flowers. These cover the top like a false ceiling -celing made
of fire - Perhphs the oldest form of interior decoration and of course, as seen
above the decorator is thiru-ananthAzhwAn.
This is exactly described so by sri
kula-sEkara AzhwAr
"vAy Oar Er-ai-nURu
thudhangaL Arndha, vaLai vudambil,
azhal nAgam vumizhndha sen-thE,
vEzhAdha malare senni vidhAnamEa pOle, mEal mEalum miga engum
parandhadhan kEzh..." perumAL thiru-mozhi
1-2;
Sri ANDAL and thirumazhisai AzhwAr also
point out this fact.
"thE mugathu nAgaNai mEal
sEArum thiruvaranar.."
"..azhal vumizhum
pUnkAr aravu...." nAn-mugan thiruvandhAdhi.
