My Sivarathri Festival 2013

Sivarathri Festival is a prominent festival of hindus.In nooranad village, the villagers celebrate the festival relating it to the annual festival in Padanilam Parabrahma Temple. There is no idol at Padanilam Parabrahma Temple, but a stone.The diety in the temple is nondual Brahman or Parabrahmam.It is a cultural thing to make models of Ox structures [Nandi] and push it as a procession to the temple on the festival day.For years this custom is going on.This year's Sivarathri festival was on 10th March 2013.

I went to watch the festival in the night of March 10 2013

The big temple ground was filled with a sea of humanity. The traffic block to the village was the worst.
