This is one place whether the wait is truly worth it. Never mind the long queues and the oppressive heat, much before the sanctum comes into view, the chorus chanting of 'Govinda' rises like a prayer to heaven. And just when you feel you're there, two 3m high dwarapalikas called Jaya and Vijaya stand guard to the Lord. And then you see he stands before you. Never mind the dim lights, his aura glows resplendent. He glitters, diamonds and all, the shining gold, the painted flowers. The fragrance of camphor and sandalwood just about starts to engulf you, when you hear the urgent 'Jarakandi!' And the temple priest ushers you out. A fleeting glance, yes, but one that will stay in your imagination for a long long times€¦
