Each month there is one day that is extra special for Lord Ganapati, and the monks decorate Him elaborately. This takes a couple of hours. So, when all the monks came to Kadavul Temple for the 5:30am arati, he greeted us with this adorable visage. It was good timing, since it was also Tour Day, so about 110 visitors got to enjoy this alankara today.
