We go a little before 9, and temple is rather empty. There is a dance program going on outside on a makeshift stage. Inside a Golu has been set up. It is very elaborate with Ambal on the central top-most step with a maala or prabhavali of peacock feathers, garlanded with jasmin. On either side of her are Kathavarayan and Siva-Parvati respectively, below whom extend the two rich arrays of Golu bommais. There are a lot of Krishnas! Almost a whole few padis of them. And some swanky modern dwellings sit at the very base.
