Neelamperoor Devi kshetram’s Pooram padayani.

Got up at 3, the chores and was ready by a half past 5. Prabin dropped me close to the 3A/C coach of the Guruvayur-Madurai Fast Passenger. Reached Changanasserry by a 10’ to 9. The journey was uneventful, nice.

Reached Changanasserry by 10' to 9. Maman and folks with the car came by, soon after and without much ado, we set off for Puthuvayil House. The Pooram padayani celebrations of the Neelamperoor Devi kshetram were on in full swing. Following, from the family, were attending :-

Indira kunjamma, Maman, Ammayi, Suma kunjamma, Chambu, Padmakumar, Rema, Mini and Santhi.

Had a good 'darshan' of the Devi during the 'ucha puja'.

Lunch at Unni's place.

And then, to the Panchayat office and the Village Officer's office said our piece about the transfer of ownership of the Puthuvayil House to the Foundation.

We began our journey to Thiruvananthapuram at 3. Had a darshan of the Kottarakkara Maha Ganapati kshetram and as we were returning, we met Lekha's Ananthan chittappan, Letha, Archa and Devootti.

Dinner at Hotel Al Saj.

A quiet evening at Maman's place.
