My second trip to Melkote coincides with the Vairamudi sevai dates at the Thirunarayana Puram temple. The utsavam (temple festival) is significant because the beautiful Lord Chella Pillai is adorned by the materialistic beautiful Turban of diamonds. This utsavam attracts hugh crowd to the little town completely sealing the view of the road. And most of the crowd stays to see the Rajamudi sevali early the next day.
We reached Melkote on the morning of the utsavam. Our accomodation was arranged at the Ahobilam mutt there. We took a quick dip in the Kalyani kulam (a very clean pond during the rest of the year, had been made polluted at that time). We went to the Thirunarayanar temple and took off to the Yoga Narasimhar temple.
