Your poem is really taking me to my boyhood euphoria on getting lost in the cheering crowd of a temple premises, at times sipping hot black coffee to keep sleep at bay till the colourful fireworks ends with a green signal. Thank you very much Valsa George
Under the glare and noise, the heat and sweat Amid the tumultuous beat of trumpets And the rhythmic sounding of cymbals The crowd swayed in psychedelic lassitude.........So touching. It is a beautiful poem on Indian temple festival with nice inscription. Enjoyed with attractive photo provided.
The temple festival beautifully captured. The words aptly placed to create the imagery...Thank you..
It seems that instincts got wings to fly off to the temple premises! Your verses, as always, as they are destined, made us all, those who have viewed before and me, feel being there. Very much detailed. I miss those delicacies you listed.. ah. wish, as the blessed O N V Kurup versed, oru vattam koodi, , , moham. About your mastery in composing experiences and observations, I better not dare to. God bless.

really we visualize the mirthful atmosphere.......a nice description...the diction is high to make the narration impressive....... you remind me the KUMBHA MELA......i was present for 3 days in last prayag..ALLAHABAD...kumbhomela.... i bathed in the mingling water of GANGA and JAMUNA.......WHAT a scenery! ! Indian festival has a deep importance and effect to national integrity........your poem serves such.
A beautiful description, I felt as if I am myself present in the festival. Indian festivals are interesting and attractive.
A wonderful poem with a wonderful photograph. The temple festivals of Kerala are marked by colourful decorations, sacred bells and varied performing art forms like dance, music and drums. The 'Tayambaka' and 'Pancha Vadyam' are famed for its typical kerala flavour. Valsa, i loved the way you have described the temple festival. Enjoyed reading. Full honour and thanks!
Wonderful poem - the picture is so nice, well dressed elephants! This is nice, and the festive itself seems to be the cultural event also. Thank you for sharing this poem.
