the floors are made of various designs and importantly Krishna's Foot prints! Pooja was then made.. thus we celebrated this occasion! Hope u enjoyed the pictures!

Hi, the photos that you posted in blog reminds me the good old days that i shared with a brahmin family nearby my house in tanjore. I got all these stuffs to eat during their festive season. Wow the dishes looks so fresh and hot. I miss them and their dishes now.. Your photos gave me a nostalgic feeling.

Keep blogging good stuffs like this..All the best wishes.
