It was an early morning get away from Kochi for Guruvayur. And the task - to monitor the progress of work at our house, clear doubts and remove bottlenecks and of course, clear payments on work completed. And above all, to familiarise with the new place that's gonna be our abode!
It was not only fun but educative to be with the skilled labourers. Their explanations on why a work was done in a particular manner was illuminative of their immaculate thought processes. The house has begun to acquire life and the immediate neighbours have also started taking notice of our frequent visits. And I believe that a few of them are curious to know as to why we've decided to settle down here where we've no roots!
And the day was topped off with a darshan of the 'Mammiyoor Sivan' in the evening. The temple was comparatively less crowded and everything went off with clockwork precision.
Tailpiece.
Guruvayur is getting ready for the 'ekadasi' which falls on the 25th of this month. The crowds visiting the temple will be unprecedented as always. And what's the significance of the day?
It was on this day that Lord Krishna had imparted the 'Gitopadesam' to Arjuna, his favourite disciple!
