Narasimhar Thirumanjanam at Srinivasa Perumal in the morning – a very beautiful darshanam of Narasimha with the milk flowing on him. “Today is our jayanti celebration, not that of other temples, don’t ask any more questions” says the senior priest who had told us off the other day to someone who enquires. We wanted to see this, so we went, but with no intention of continuing our documentation of this temple, given its apparently contentious priestly and community relations. Didn’t get the greatest feeling from the way the priests were handling people, in any case. If a temple can be a reflection of the unfiltered nature of community life around it, this was a classic instance. We’d only visited a couple of times, and already had a sense of it.
