Deepa saw the alankaram and aradhanai of the Rama-Sita-Lakshmana-Hanuman utsava murtis in the morning (having visited once the evening before and sought the permission of the priest to attend the pujas of this Arya Vysya Chetty temple, one of several which are privately run and managed). This was part of the 14-day Ramar Utsavam (Rama Navami and Rama Pattabhisheka Vizha, March 27-April 9). There are 25-30 people present, with the ladies singing the Ramavali and Nama Ramayana. Prasadam is sumptuous with a special serving of buttermilk and panakam. What could the significance of serving these be?
