A vivid description of the Agraharam with the distinctive life style brought out gracefully. Very nice verse.

Sister, a nice poem on the life style of Agraharam. Which Agraharam that you are referring to? I live in the New Kalpathy, Palakkad Agraharam area (Ambikapuram) for the last twenty five years. No doubt, Agraharam life has its own style and this life style is the inner and outer strength of Brahmins - there is enough for spiritual evolution for all people. Your poem is enough to bring back those old winds. Thanks.
