A visit to Shankar Mutt

Shankar mutt has been on of my most favorite places to visit. During the dussera time, goddess Saraswathi is decorated in various forms each day and also there is a concert in the evenings. Yesterday I was insisting that I wanted to go as there was a bit of turmoil in my mind about something that had happened. So at 9.30 after dinner, I and mom went to the place.

This is a haunt of mostly Brahmin crowd. It was really pleasant, everyone is organized and clean, wear decent clothes and come as a family unit. The concert was going on by a local resident and it was quite nice. A lot of kids were running around and playing but not disturbing the atmosphere. Overall it’s a soothing environment. After praying for the goddess and the acharya for their blessings, I sat there contemplating if what I had done was right. And ultimately, I felt it was a good thing - what I had done. With a feeling of renewed motivation and aim I headed back home with a decision to go there everyday till dussera end.
