Manaparai Trip

Myself and senthil(Salem) started on 9th may around 8 o'clock towards Manaparai. The next day is vey special over there. We has started over there for witnessing the famous mariamman temple milkpot function. We both started in a SETC to Tiruchy. The next morning by 5.30 we have reached Tiruchy. After having a small fresh up we had a gud coffee at the aavin milk depot. Then we took a bus to Manaparai. It was around 40 minutes travel from tiruchy. It was a nice and a pleasent trip. We reached a bit late, because already the milk pot cermony has been started. My friend(Mana) brother gopi has came to pick up from the bus stop. Initially we went to manas home , refreshed ourself and started to temple. Our friend mana is also taking milkpot for mariamma. Around 8000 peoples took milkpot in 5 hrs. Its a amazing experience for seeing such a large number of peoples offering milkpot to mariamman. The city is full of joyful mood. Since that was the first day of the function the whole crowd is in atmost enjoyment. We felt very happy for participating in such a event. After a machine life in concerete jungle, that trip was a amazing and relaxing experience for me.
