IndiaAnoop Narayana Bhattathiri, a 40-year-old software engineer from Kumaranallur in Kerala, embarked on a traditional river journey aboard a Churulan boat to the Sree Parthasarathy Temple at Aranmula. This voyage, part of a centuries-old tradition linked to the Thiruvonathoni procession, aims to deliver provisions for the Onasadya offering at the temple. The boat will travel through three rivers, stopping at various locations including Veliyanad and Devaswom Sathrakkadavu before arriving at Aranmula. The journey, which includes rituals at multiple temples, concludes with the lighting of the temple's perpetual lamp using a lamp from the Kattoor temple. Bhattathiri, who previously led two such voyages, will stay at the temple until the Athazha Puja and then return home by road.
