It must be so exciting in Tiruvannamalai now. Although it is always lovely to be near Arunachala but especially before the crowds come.
Thanks a ton for the info. Can you please provide some more details on
(a) tentative time of the events
(b) best location (street names and landmarks in those streets) for viewing the Lord.
Yes I can do that Ramesh. Will make a new posting in the next few days with more information regarding timing and locations.
