LN Puram Chithira Ratholsavam 2009 (April-27 to May-6)
The LN Puram Chithira maasa Ratholsavam grandly opened with the Dwajarohana function on 27th April morning. The LN Puram youngsters and with many bhakthajanangal were present on the occassion.
The LN Puram Graama Samooham and Youngsters Association organised and celebrated this years Ratholsavam really in a big big way. The whole village have been illuminated with lights, and the daily poojas and vaahanams, Vadya-melams, Thaayambakai, Kuthirayottam, Fire crackers, Aaarattu sadyai each and every details were very well planned and being executed in style. Apart from the village population, many LNpuram villagers who are outside staying in various parts of the country and abroad were present during Ratholsavam.
The Kuthirayottam function was grand with some extraordinary firecrackers and skyrockets illuminating the whole sky. That was an awesome viewing experience in the whole village.
The Ther day was very special. The nature made sure to do a sanctity doublecheck and during the night of Kuthirayottam the RainGods poured in heavy rains - also much needed relief from the heat. The youngsters decorated the temple with niramala, kuruthola, Gopalakrishnaswany was decorated lavishly with the haarams/flowers (checkout the photos) and the Ratha-yettam was done in perfection with all the manthras and vishnusahasranaamam. The morning functions concluded at 12.30 noon.
The evening proceeding started at 3pm with Thaayambaka performed at a special stage infront of the temple put up by the youngsters. Then comes the real entertaintment experience. The thumping sound of 25 chendas was pulsating and shaking the whole village, many deaf ears were made alive, and many normal ears were stress-tested. The youngsters thronged and danced, and made this years Ther a special entertaintment experience as well. For the records, number of chendas (25) is the maximum at LN Puram. Checkout the photos if you missed the experience. There was Ekadasi kanakku with the special Nadaswaram during the night of Ther.
The Aaarattu and Dwaja-avarohanam was complete at 10.15am on 6th May. The Aaaarattu sadyai was grand, with around 400+ people. The Poornahuti, Kshama mantram, and Aashirvaadams were complete in the evening by 9pm.
More commentary from Youngsters:
Fireworks on the day of Kudhirai Oottam........ it almost resemble Thrissur Pooram . Each of our house back yard smelled Phosphorus for the next 2 days........... Thanks for that as we could able to sleep well with out mosquito bite even when the electricity was totaly cut off on Kudirai ottam night.............
Pulav served to the all contributors on Kudhirai Ottam day............. i would say that it was next tastiest thing i have had after Kurukkal Kadai appam.............. as we sat last we didn't get enough side dish and we tried all option (including water)
Chandhai Vadhyam....... they made all our folks to dance through out the procession........ and obviously i cursed them when i resumed my office as i was unable to sit or stand for next 3 days
Last but not the least....... Gokul's unique style of placing channai to control our "Pallakku", it was a treat to watch.....
