I reached Thirunavaya at
about 0830. The rains were there till 0730 and I could do the Sraddham without
rains. When I left Thirunavaya it was not raining. The Nila has only some
water, but the priest told me that after Makiryam Njattuvela is over, after 14
days, the water level will rise 12 steps high !

Arabian Sea !
