3rd Mango Performance

The 3rd and last mango performance took place on the 20th of January 2017. I cut and cubed a mango, offered it to Lords Murugan and Ganesha while reciting a prayer to Murugan metonymically addressed via his Vel (spear) –

The mango was then offered to our Thalaivar (VALHA!!) before being given to the audience to taste.
