Welcoming Bodhinatha to the temple.

Behind the chief priest is Sri Hari, the permanent Vaishanava priest of the temple.

Bodhinatha is taken to each of the shrines.

He unwrapped each murti in preparation for its abhishekham.

They all had been wrapped completely in cloth.

The temple is celebrating its Maha Kumbhabhishekam and invited Bodhinatha. Everyone was extremely happy and grateful he was there. This was expressed many, many times over the two days of pujas.

In addition to the two residend priests others were from Canada, San Diego, New Orleans, Maryland and Washington, DC. They and their many assistant acharyas worked extremely well together and the two days Bodhinatha was there, everything went smoothly.

In third from last photo below, with Bodhinatha in the Ganesha shrine, the priest on the right in red had met Bodhinatha before. The first time was in Rose Hill, Mauritius, then again in Baltimore. Small world for sure.
