To mark Karthigai Deepam celebrations at Sri Ka- paleeswarar Temple on December 11, a massive, creative and stunning display of thousands of lit earthen lamps on the steps of the temple tank was a feast for the eyes for all those who stopped by to take in this rare sight. Volunteers had set up the oil lamps the previous day, doing this over many hours, guided by Sreekanth who is known to be the man behind all these creative efforts in the temple for many years. Some 20 volunteers were involved in this lighting effort. The ‘natural’ illumination inside the temple tank was on for three nights. 2 MYLAPORE TIMES Dec 14 - 20, 2019

Evening of fire and light

Report: Dheepti O. J. Photos: Madhan Kumar

On a grey evening on December 11 as the seasonal chill began to take effect, Sri Kapali Temple came alive for the traditional Karthigai Deepam celebration. Inside the temple, temple priests performed special rituals and went on to place the earthen oil lamps at the vimanams above the sannidhis of Sri Murugan, Sri Kapaleeswarar and Sri Karpagambal. People kept streaming in and many lit earthen oil lamps on the platform set up near Sri Annamalayar Sannidhi. They had done so here through the previous day when the festival was celebrated in Thiruvannamalai. At the Navaratri mandapam, the panchamurtis – Sri Ganapathy, Sri Kapaleeswarar, Sri Karpagambal, Sri Murugan and Sri Chandikeswarar were decorated with colourful flowers and jewellery. Later, moving their bodies to the music of the nadaswaram and tavil, volunteers carried the idols that were placed on palanquins and moved in a procession around the temple and then oustide, to the 16-pillar mandapam on Sannidhi Street. Traffic movement was restricted on a section of East Mada Street opposite Rasi Silks where the chokka panai made of palmyra and coconut leaves was set up. It was then set alight as part of the symbolic act and as the flames rose up, hundreds of people gathered to view the sight. Later, the panchamurtis were taken in a procession around the Mada Streets. People had placed lit oil lamps in front of shops and houses on the streets. And the few thousand earthen oil lamps that volunteers had set up and lit that evening on all the steps of the temple tank created a magical image that December night.

CIVIC WORKERS DE-SILT DRAINS IN SAN THOME For the past few days, Chennai Corporation’s contract workers are desilting storm water drains (SWD) alongside San Thome High Road which seem to have been filled up with muck and debris and blocked free flow of rainwater. The road is always flooded in the monsoon season because the facility to drain water has been poor. Now, a section of pavement near San Thome MTC bus stop has been dug up for the current civic work. Workers say it will take about a week to complete the job. Meanwhile, people who use this part of the road say that barricading of the dug up area is required when work is in progress to warn people of the excavated pavement area. Said Sita, a resident of San Thome, “Barricading the dug-up area with a light tape is not enough. This is a busy area and the dug-up drains pose a danger for pedestrians at night.” 6 MYLAPORE TIMES Dec 14 - 20, 2019 CHECK THIS OUT

Rani Rodrigo called me early. Would I like to place orders for cakes, she asked.

It was the first week of November and I was won- dering why she had called this soon. I have to prepare early to bottle the fruit, she told me and I understood.

Rani makes some of the best cakes this side of the city. Only two kinds - Love Cake and Rich Fruit Cake. And since she bakes at home and takes all the time in the world to have them done the right way, Rani does not take big orders nor does she advertise her seasonal food. People who are passionate about cooking love to serve to people who appreciate good, home-made food. And December is the time to enjoy some great food and drink.
