Because Kalpathy Theru is not just a festival, but an emotion! |
 |
Kalpathy Theru extends for 9 days, and last three days are most special...These pictures are taken on 7th day - Kalpathy Shivan Kovil (Temple) |
 |
The brilliant Kalpathy Theru, decorated to roll across the streets... |
 |
The Theru (car) of Kalpathy Shivan Temple would not move if elephant does not touch it... |
 |
That's the Shivan temple... With the flag (kodi) signifying the festival flying high! |
 |
The streets are lit with these... |
 |
Kalpathy is considered as heritage village...Famous for its cultural and traditional values...Here are glimpses of carnatic music kutcheri |
 |
When some of special ones happily posed for me! |
 |
Theru kadai (shops)... Cz its not just festive but also shopping time! |
 |
It doesn't matter whether you already have these or not...But buying during theru season is inevitable! |
 |
Well, its not just temples, music and crowd... There are some eateries around too! |
 |
Thats Lord Gopalakrishnan (of Old Kalpathy) dressed as Mohini on the 7th day! |
 |
Lord Ganesha... |
 |
Random clicks... Because as I said, theru is an emotion..An excuse to meet old friends, family get together...Look beyond caste, creed and religion! |
