Why do we keep food for crows?
Once a devotee asked Kanchi #Paramacharya #Mahaswamigal why do we keep food for crows during mahalayam? Are our #Ancestors taking forms of crows? Why do they come as this low bird? Why not a high standard bird?

With a gentle smile Mahaswamigal answered, we call crow kaka in Tamil. Do we address any other creature by its sound? Do we call cat meow? Because a parrot says kiki, do we call it kiki? The crow is called by its sound that makes it special.

Ka means kaapathu or protect me in Tamil. so when you keep food for a crow and say "kaa kaa", you are asking your ancestors to protect you!
You say a crow is lowly because it is freely available and it eats anything! But let me tell you a crow is beautiful. Why?

Annabhishekam was performed at Sri #Brihadeeswara Swami temple in #GangaikondaChozhapuram in presence of Pujyashri #Shankaracharya Swamigal. Every year, the #Annabhishekam is performed on the #Pournami Full-moon day in the Tamil month of Aippasi. 
The Annabhishekam is being performed for more than 3 decades by #Shrimatam devotees as ordained by Pujyashri Chandrasekharendra Saraswati #Mahaswamigal
More than 1000 kgs of rice is prepared and offered in Abhishekam to Sri Brihadeeswara Swami who is more than 13.5 feet tall and 62 feet in diameter. The rice thus offered is served as prasadam to devotees.
