Many of us would have visited famous temples of Kerala, like Guruvayoor, Chottanikkara, Trichur Sive temple etc., But, I feel, the beauty of Kerala temples lie in village temples with a small sanctum sanctorum, a tiny vigraham with minimum decorations and a lot of brass lamps burning around!These temples do not have big gopurams as in Tamilnadu.
School starts in three more days, and I've yet to start shopping!
In Kerala Avani(chingam) month is welcome after 3 months of rainy season!
Onam, the most celebrated festival of Kerala falls in this month.
I have been to Kerala many times and several things facinate me each time.

Krishna is perhaps the god favoured by all Indians irrespective of age. Children can identify with him for his childish pranks, so can the teenagers for his adventures, so can the lovers for his love of music and dance, so can the adults for his sagacious advice and so can the very old for his profound teachings. In that sense Krishna is a sampUrNAvatAra, a complete manifestation of self. Since it is gOkulAshTami time, here is a puraMdaradAsa kriti on Krishna.
