Rainy Friday Abhishekam at a Theruvu Koyil

Friday Masam Pirappu: 12pm: Manimutthumariamman Friday abhishekam. Went to Manimutthumariamman on Chinna Subaraya street, with rain pouring down. Ramanan Gurukkal was delayed because of this but Kasturi Mami showed up diligently. She lives 2 streets down “in a house with a blue no parking sign”. She tells us that this is a deity with powers because all her prayers here have been answered, including the one for her daughter who needed a job and got one. Another gentleman also tells his story being unwell, needing surgery, but miraculously sitting up well again after his grandmother prayed here.
