I had pressed on this thread a couple of weeks ago and had admired the beauty of Muruga bhagwan and his consorts. Initially, I thought it would be nice to go see them in person but did not think much about it and I moved on with life. I went home to Chennai quite abruptly last Saturday and owing to a series of random events, we found ourselves driving up to Thiruthani to see them, and with that we had completed the aru padi.
