Preparing for smooth passage . . .

A certain listlessness comes with the onset of summer. And that is the what greets you even as a few workers complete the pandal work at Sri Kapali Temple now.
This morning, teams started walking around the mada streets - clearing loose ropes tied across the streets and stringing up cables and wires that dangled low.

The intention is to clear the overhead low lines to make it safe of the vahnams and ther to pass by at procession time.

The private agency which clears waste is also planning to increase their local force and ensure the veedhis are kept clean at festival time.
