Duty Over and Coming Down

I recently received a copy of the below photo of the 2012 Deepam Cauldron on its way down the Hill after completion of this year's Deepam Festival. This year the Deepam Flame was alight for 11 nights. 

Well done to you -- and now time to rest until next year's duty. And that is exactly what will happen as the cauldron will be left undisturbed and carefully stored in a special room at Arunachaleswarar Temple until Deepam 2013.
