Description : The beautiful bronze statue of Andal has a parrot on her arm and a large garland of flowers around her neck. The parrot is s symbol of love and signifies Andal's love for lord Vishnu who she regards as her husband. She wears her hair off to the side of her head.
About Andal: Andal is the only female Alvar of the 12 Alvar saints of South India, who are known for their affiliation to the Vaishnavite tradition of Hinduism. Adopted by her father, the Alvar saint Periyalvar who found her as a baby, Andal avoided earthly marriage, the normal and expected path for women of her culture, to "marry" Vishnu, both spiritually and physically. In many places in India, particularly in Tamilnadu, Andal is treated more than a saint and as a form of God herself.
