Hi friends.. As usual, the week end came and went.. We all malayali family were preparing for the biggest harvest festival for the year. Onam… The name itself bring us the nostaligic feelings.. which we losing out slowly but steadily to the today’s hightech culture.. Thanks to the internet.. Television…
People are slowling concentrating on the neuclear families.. Stop mixing up regularly.. All of us are now living in our own cocoons, not want to see the good old tradition of making life easy for everyone…
In this scenario, I wanted to share some of the most pleasant memories of the our tradition.. That is the snake boat race. Every where else is Onam will be over by the 4th onam.. But in the village of Aranmula.. it will over only on the day of Uthrattathi…
There is a story behind that… After the Mahabharata battle… everyone who participated in it.. in search of peace went in different directions. Sri krishna the supreme consciousness.. came to Aranmula… That too he came in boat made of six bamboos.. which is the meaning of the Aranmula..
In between when he was thristy.. one old lady given him the tender coconut and lassy.. Where he had a stop over.. and then continued towards the place where today’s temple erected.
