Happy Aadi Perukku to all!

Aadi Perukku is the 18th day of Aadi maasam(4th month in Tamil Calendar). Monsoon season sets during this time. We thank the Mother nature in form of Ambal and pray for the adequate monsoons for harvest. We take dip in river Kaveri and pray, do Neivedayam by preparing Variety rice. 

Today a double Stroke Kolam for Aadi Perukku.
