Nemmara Vallangy Vela- Closing Ceremony
Vela celebrations came to an end with the elephants parading back to Mannam the next day.
Though deprived of sleep for almost 24 hours, everyone had great energy, dancing to the tunes of "vadhyam" .
Just the walk towards "Mannam"was exiting.
Main elephant bows down in front of "mannatth amma" where it all started, promising to come back next year. It is a year long wait for all of us!!!
