Close up of our first floor swamy room

This close up is to show 2 things. One is the decoration around the lamp with coloured stones. The other is that 3 idols of Murugan, Valli and Deivanai are covered with sandal paste {chandanakkaappu]. The idols being copper, needs frequent elaborate cleaning. So, I put chandanakkaappu for all the three. Once in 3-4 months I clean them nicely and again put sandal paste, draw eyes, eyebrows and lips with colour pens. The hanging lamps are given as gift by rajamma for her son's wedding. Unfortunately, it was not working when I clicked this.
