Had been to native for another short trip. Reached last Wednesday morning and left on the same evening. Attended "Punar prathishta" of "Paampu Kaavu" at tharavaadu.
Its that time of the year where it is Pooram/Vela everywhere. On the way to Mangode from Olavakkode passed through kunnapullikavu. Kavu Vela was on the previous night. If my memory is right i have not seen any pooram/vela till now. Those scenes of tablows , lighting of temple, people sleeping roadside, compounds etc were once again reminded me how people are involved and how culturally rich my motherland is! I am missing them a lot.....
Pooja at tharavaadu was just another unforgettable experience. Like always , I did enjoy company with all my relatives. I did engage myself in whatever little i could do during the pooja. Four persons came from Pathiri Kunnathu Mana for performing the rituals. The interaction between themselves was most enjoyable. One thing which struck me was when the main person among them told how non-hindus are also following naga pooja related rituals. One example as he told - "there is one non-hindu who purchased some land. He was told that Naga pooja has to be performed regularly on that land. Then he approached people at the Mana and told that whatever expenditure is there for the pooja, he is ready to bear and he will keep himself away. But pooja should be performed without fail". Interesting and Just amazing....
For the first time had a nice ride on a bike on the busy highway. Had nannaari sarbath. Evening before leaving back, spent nice time refreshing myself in the kunthi river...
On the way back to olavakkode, noticed that mundur vela was also round the corner.....
Hopefully, during coming years i will make it to atleast few of the poorams/velas...
