At Guruvayoor.

Dateline 08 Mar.

It's time to get our new house at Guruvayoor in order. To commence the spring cleaning, we'd set off to the temple town soon after breakfast. The weather was nice and the traffic comfortable that made the drive quite enjoyable. We reached our destination by lunchtime.

After lunch and siesta, we made our first reconnaissance of the house which was in a real shabby state, indeed. Crisp orders were passed to the people - thankfully got together by our neighbours who're thrilled to know that we're joining the neighbourhood pretty soon.

And after freshening up, we made a beeline to the Guruvayoor temple hoping that the crowds would have thinned down by then - the annual festival has seen unprecedented crowds, as is the custom year after year! But in this evening's case the deity - Guruvayoorappan - had come out of his sanctum sanctorum to give 'darshan' to his devotees!

And, our day was made!
