A Temple Visit

As many would know this is the mandala kaalam or the auspicious month for Lord Iyyappa worship. Sharing a few photos from the temple visit, instead of waxing eloquent...




One portion of the divine palki getting ready. If you notice carefully the entire palki is made from just banana stem and fresh coconut leaves. Talk about being environment friendly!


The decorated temple elephant swaying its ears gently to the music of the chenda made an awesome sight.





There was also a program of Thayambaka and Panchavadyam organized for the evening which we had to give a miss due to the unusually cold weather.





For those who would like to hear the chenda, found this youtube link -
