Day 3 and we are off to Guruvayur for the marriage. Guruvayur was about 110 kms away from Calicut. My friend and I were in the car along with his mom and a cousin and the rest of the marriage party that was coming along, the cousins and aunties and uncles and whoever else were related to him in one way or the other were in the blue bus ahead. We reached Guruvayur by around 5 in the evening and I took the chance to walk around. I have never been to a devotional/religious place like this and they say that Tirupathi is much more crowded!!!!. The line of people on the left seems to just go on and on and never seems to end. I spent about an hour there and barely saw the line move. I am not the types to even go to church on Sundays and I dont understand the kind of devotion one needs to have to actually go through this kind of strain in the maddening heat just for a moment or two with the diety inside. There is nothing wrong with having faith but all this...it just does not make sense to me...
