Sunrise at "Lakeview Homestay"
One has just returned after a close encounter with nature at Thrissur in Kerala State. Thrissur is a 120 minute drive away from Karripode. Thrissur is more famously known as the home of Vadakunathan and Thiruvambady temples, which have an annual festival every May, featuring thirty temple elephants and divine music (panchavadyam and elanjithara melam). The dieties from twelve temples near Thrissur are carried on elephant back accompanied to the sound of music from its present abode to the Vadakkunathan temple at Trichur for a grand display of colourful umbrellas. Two groups of 15 elephants, each from a different temple gather facing each other and display colourful umbrellas on elephant back, in synchronicity for an unbelievable display of team-work and discipline.
