On arubathumoovar procession after we spent some time perched near the Gandhi statue off the Chitrakulam to get some nice visuals shot on camera for our live relay on FB.
It is also a safer point than points off Rasi Store where the crowd is intense and thick.
Even as two sang hams kept offering delicious buttermilk to people and we had a glass or two, we overheard many women saying that their prayers were to ask for rain.
"We are in for a bad summer. There is no water," explained a woman who had bought some veggies before finding a place to wait for the procession.
The others around her nodded in agreement.
"We are praying for water," chimed in one woman.
They must have offered that prayer as the gods followed the saints to the pandal close to us.
