     Evening of
     fire and light
Report: Dheepti O. J.   Photos: Madhan Kumar

    On a grey evening on December 11 as the seasonal chill began to take
effect, Sri Kapali Temple came alive for the traditional Karthigai Deepam
celebration.
    Inside the temple, temple priests performed special rituals and went on
to place the earthen oil lamps at the vimanams above the sannidhis of Sri
Murugan, Sri Kapaleeswarar and Sri Karpagambal.
    People kept streaming in and many lit earthen oil lamps on the platform
set up near Sri Annamalayar Sannidhi. They had done so here through the
previous day when the festival was celebrated in Thiruvannamalai.
    At the Navaratri mandapam, the panchamurtis – Sri Ganapathy, Sri
Kapaleeswarar, Sri Karpagambal, Sri Murugan and Sri Chandikeswarar
were decorated with colourful flowers and jewellery.
    Later, moving their bodies to the music of the nadaswaram and tavil,
volunteers carried the idols that were placed on palanquins and moved in a
procession around the temple and then oustide, to the 16-pillar mandapam
on Sannidhi Street.
    Traffic movement was restricted on a section of East Mada Street
opposite Rasi Silks where the chokka panai made of palmyra and coconut
leaves was set up. It was then set alight as part of the symbolic act and as
the flames rose up, hundreds of people gathered to view the sight.
    Later, the panchamurtis were taken in a procession around the Mada
Streets. People had placed lit oil lamps in front of shops and houses on the
streets. And the few thousand earthen oil lamps that volunteers had set up
and lit that evening on all the steps of the temple tank created a magical
image that December night.

CIVIC WORKERS DE-SILT DRAINS
IN SAN THOME
    For the past few days, Chennai Corporation’s contract
workers are desilting storm water drains (SWD) alongside
San Thome High Road which seem to have been filled up with
muck and debris and blocked free flow of rainwater.
    The road is always flooded in the monsoon season because
the facility to drain water has been poor.
    Now, a section of pavement near San Thome MTC bus stop
has been dug up for the current civic work. Workers say it will
take about a week to complete the job.
    Meanwhile, people who
use this part of the road say
that barricading of the dug
up area is required when
work is in progress to warn
people of the excavated
pavement area.
    Said Sita, a resident of
San Thome, “Barricading the
dug-up area with a light tape
is not enough. This is a busy
area and the dug-up drains
pose a danger for
pedestrians at night.”

College event
    Chennai City Police are on a campaign to make peo-
ple aware of the Kavalan SOS App which can come in

awareness programme held at Queen Mary’s College
on Dec.10. Senior police officers were also present.
    A few hundred college girls attended this event. The
college principal, Dr. S. Shanthi welcomed the guests.
    On the dais along with the police commissioner
were senior police officers Prem Anand Sinha (ad-
ditional commissioner), Deshmukh Shekhar Sanjay
(deputy commissioner of Mylapore zone) and Sudhakar
(joint commissioner).
    The officers have also asked people to download this
App so that it comes in handy when there is trouble
and police help is required.

   Rani Rodrigo called me early. Would I like to
place orders for cakes, she asked.

   It was the first week of November and I was won-
dering why she had called this soon. I have to prepare
early to bottle the fruit, she told me and I understood.

    Rani makes some of the best cakes this side of the
city. Only two kinds - Love Cake and Rich Fruit Cake.
And since she bakes at home and takes all the time in
the world to have them done the right way, Rani
does not take big orders nor does she advertise her
seasonal food.
    People who are passionate about cooking love to
serve to people who appreciate good, home-made
food. And December is the time to enjoy some great
food and drink.
