It was on the day before karthigai deepam. Appu and Shanmugam were discussing to go for Thiruvannamalai. Meanwhile, Appu was asking me weather I am interested to join with them. Usually, appu use to go with his friends so I don’t join them often moreover I had heavy Cold so my mother doesn’t want to go with them. But it was a special occasion so have decided to join with them, and planned to start at evening 7:30. Meanwhile have gone to Anjaneyar temple and come back to home and rain started heavily. By seeing my mother doesn’t want us to go, though it was raining for past two days we had a feeling it doesn’t continue for long so decided against her. Meanwhile, babu anna also joined with us, and around at 9:00 PM we all started to walk to our bus stand and got the bus at around 10:30 PM and reached Koyambedu at around 11:30pm. After seeing the queue for getting the bus ticket we thought it would take another 2 or 3 hrs to get the ticket. But as usual appu had a different plan he took us directly to the bus which goes by Thiruvannamalai and boarded us which saved us lot of time by avoiding the queue.
It was around at 4:30 morning on Kaarthigai Deepam day we reached Thiruvannamalai. As expected, by the time we reached the rain stopped completely and after the Gopura Tharisanam we all started to walk for “Giri Valam”. On the way we had a glimpse of all the lingam and had our prayers for the lingam which belongs to our Raasi. Around at 11:00 AM we finished the “Girivalam” and had our special prayers via “Gopura Tharisanam”. Around at 11:45 AM we started back to home and reached by 5:00 clock. Meantime, my mother had decorated our new house with “lights” which made our new house to look more beautiful in our street:) Since my camera got repaired I miss to capture those beautiful moments :( Also, in our street temple they have fired the karthigai deepam with palm leaves we all saw that and had our prayers. It was very auspicious day for me and my family.
