TRIPUNDRAM SYMBOLS

" What our Bala Amal is not here! Is she by the way shy to show herself with head cleanly shaved."

" No Uncle, not at all, I am helping my brother in packing, so that we can go straight to Alimelumangapuram and from there only Tirupathi temples. Mr. Suresh syas that it will save time and moreover the mood goes unhindered. Having availed Balaji's darsan, Mother's darsan must follow without gap. It sounds well. Don't you support his views, or do you have any other alternative."

" No, No, Miss. Bala Amal, he is perfectly right and his experience guides us well. Look here, who is coming!"

" Oh, it is Suresh .... Good morning bhayya. We have almost finished packing and are ready for return journey.'

" Then I will have to meet the taxi driver for taking us to the Mother's Temple straightaway. Now that it is wisely decided, please follow Suresh for shopping and I will presently meet you at Lepakshi shopping Complex after talks with taxi drivers, where beautiful handicrafts the master pieces of Andhra Craftsmen are to be seen and bought for their intrinsic worth. Shall I leave you now, before Suresh takes the lead'

" Okay Mr. Moorthy. We will have to hurry up and complete Tirupathi spiritual marvels by night and leave for Madras tomorrow by Sapthagiri Express."

" You needn't worry. The taxiwallas are experts in exacting huge sums, if you express your haste. So we must be extremely careful with them. Then I will go and meet you at Lepakshi Complex."

" What! So many bags and seem filly stuffed too. You have emptied several racks in the shop?"

" Yes Mr. Moorthy, many of Andhra Pradesh handicrafts are so exciting and splendid. As their finish and dazzle are so seductive, my people bought many worth about three thousands. And they are worth their quality when compared with our parts.'

" Glad that you had them to your fill. Now be quick and on the way to the Mother's temple there are at least two more to be visited. The Kapila Thirtham temple, the lone Siva temple in Tirupathi is a miss - not item and the newly built Annapurneswari temple lying midway to Tiruchanur from Tirupathi is equally important since the black and beautiful sculptured granite icon bears a striking resemblance to Kasi Annapurneswari Vigraha. And from there to Govindaraja Swamy temple, Kodandaramaswamy temple. So up and proceed."
