We arrive around 730 and find the curtain closed, with a bunch of people standing outside. Curtain opens and the boy priest hands out valayal to the ladies. Small archanai. Over. Alankaram looks very impressive for such a little place. All done by the boy. He seems to be very sensible and perceptive. One of the ladies hands him a sari, which he places across the headdress of the amman very well, keeping harmony with the rest of the alankaram.
