Anu has a go at it. Both children are devout Hindus and enjoyed very much being here. Today they plucked flowers from our gardens then proceeded to perform a milk abhishegam for the Narmada Sivalingam. They also insisted that Nandi get an abhishegam too which they went ahead to perform.

The Theme of the event was “Blooming”, named after Premila’s entrancing accomplishment at a young age. Premila made a grand debut and danced for seven songs, all in solo.
