In one of my earlier posts, I said:
My last post was on memories of varalakShmi vratam, but was made on ஆவணி ஆவிட்டம்.
This post brings that number to 2 :-) Yesterday was varalakShmi vratam, and today is ஆவணி ஆவிட்டம். As promised here are some photos from yesterday
And also from that older post:
The last one in particular (sent this year from Besant Nagar) addresses the sadness in my post from last year that "this was most likely the first ஆவணி ஆவிட்டம் in the US that I hadn't received a ஸங்கல்பம் from Manimma (or Besant Nagar)", and shows that the torch has been passed to the next generation :-)
