Preparations for celestial wedding from today
The Hindu
The annual fete of Vasantha Paksha Tiru Kalyana Brahmotsavams is scheduled to be conducted from April 13 to 27.
In the runup to next month’s Sri Rama Navami celebrations, the process of preparing Talambralu for Sri Sitarama Tiru Kalyana Mahotsavam slated for April 21, will begin at the historic Sri Sitaramachandra Swamy temple in Bhadrachalam on the occasion of Vasantotsavam on March 28. The temple will witness a host of special rituals including formal launch of preparatory works for the ensuing celestial wedding and Dolotsavam coinciding with Holi celebrations on Sunday, according to temple sources. The COVID-19 safety regulations will be followed during the special rituals to be held in connection with Vasantotsavam inside the temple complex, temple sources added.![](/newspic/picid-1269750-20250217064624.jpg)
When fed into Latin, pusilla comes out denoting “very small”. The Baillon’s crake can be missed in the field, when it is at a distance, as the magnification of the human eye is woefully short of what it takes to pick up this tiny creature. The other factor is the Baillon’s crake’s predisposition to present less of itself: it moves about furtively and slides into the reeds at the slightest suspicion of being noticed. But if you are keen on observing the Baillon’s crake or the ruddy breasted crake in the field, in Chennai, this would be the best time to put in efforts towards that end. These birds live amidst reeds, the bulrushes, which are likely to lose their density now as they would shrivel and go brown, leaving wide gaps, thereby reducing the cover for these tiddly birds to stay inscrutable.
