Kumbhabishekam performed

We are happy to note that, due to the grace of Lord Siva, the Kumbhabishekam ceremony was performed with religious fervour amidst stains of Nadhaswaram music and a huge gathering of villagers on 8th December 2008 a little after dawn in fine weather.
A selection of the snaps clicked on the occasion can be seen at:
