THE GODDESS WHO HAS PERIODS |
|
| On return, Lord
Siva mounted on an elephant awaits the arrival of his consort and receives her
ceremoniously. The deities then enter their respective sanctums and the normal puja for
the Goddess is resumed. It is considered auspicious to witness the event especially for
happy marriage, progeny, wealth and prosperity. The story of Col. Munro Sceptics may scoff at all this, but this is what happened to those who did so: Colonel Munro was the Resident-Divan of Travancore during the reign of Rani Laxmi Bai (1810-14). It was he who organized the take over of almost all the temples in Travancore by the Government.
