1. The Lord of Aayarpadi (Childhood Leelas)
   • The Cowherd Life: Aayarpadi is the village where Lord Krishna was secretly raised by Yashoda and Nanda Maharaja, away from the tyranny of Kamsa. It is the setting for the most tender and celebrated stories of Krishna’s childhood, including breaking the pots of curd, subduing the serpent Kaliya, and His enchanting dance with the Gopis (Rasa Leela).
   • Navamohana Krishna: The Moolavar is worshipped as Navamohana Krishna, signifying the Lord’s ever-fresh, endlessly captivating, and supremely beautiful youthful form that enchants the minds of all devotees.
2. The Greatness of the Gopis (Tiruppavai Connection)
   This Divyadesam is the spiritual location praised by Andal in her entire work, the Tiruppavai.
   • Katyaayani Vratham: The Tiruppavai describes the Gopis of Aayarpadi performing the Katyaayani Vratham (vow) to wake up Krishna and marry Him. Andal herself visualized Thiruvaippadi as the setting for her devotion.
   • Madhurya Bhakti: Aayarpadi is the epicenter of Madhurya Bhakti (devotion centered on a sweet, loving relationship with the Lord).
3. Praised by the Azhwars
   Thiruvaaipadi is a celebrated Divya Desam and has been glorified by the Azhwars in the Divya Prabandham. Their hymns capture the joy, playfulness, and intense love felt by the inhabitants of Aayarpadi for the divine child Krishna.
   This Divya Desam stands as the eternal symbol of love, joy, and profound devotion, inviting pilgrims to reconnect with the sweetest and most accessible form of the Supreme Lord.
