A TEMPLE AND A WEDDING
(A short write-up by Subbaram Danda)
On
November 09, 2014 I, my wife and in-laws visited the Kalipatti Kandaswamy
temple, an abode of Lord Subramanya, located at about 20 km from Salem, where
we had gone to attend the wedding of a close relative.
This is the family deity of our in-laws. A special feature of the temple, founded in
the late 18th century, is that here devotees receive “karum sambal”
(black ash) as prasad. It is believed to cure several diseases.
On
November 08 and 09, 2014 we were at the wedding of our
nephew M. Venkata Raj with Shalini at Salem.
It was a nice show and a great get-together of many relatives and
friends. We enjoyed participating in all
the events.
Here are some photos taken
on the occasion.
