A lily pond is probably the first drawing a kid is taught in school ,
apart from usual sun, moon and stars.
but this picture has stayed with me all my life along with a fish or two thrown in,.
you usually stumble upon a little kulam through your car window as you speed along the highway.
It never stops to amaze me with its simple beauty In years goneby the temple tanks would be filled with lotus flowers. the one and only tank I saw was the time we went to thirumogur temple near Madurai. we could not see the water for the flowers. and it brought so much peace and tranquility to just to be there.
Talking abt tanks(with water)THIRuVARUR Kamalalayam, Thirukkannapuram tank.: they never run out of their water ,to my knowledge.We had our Thaipoosam float festival in all our city tanks ,thanks to the rains of september and october and november and december 2005.Hope we will be blessed with the proper amount of rain this year too.
