Tiruchandur - kanyakumari (Day - 2)

But due to holy day dusherra, all rooms are filled. Really I didn't understand what should I do. I thought I could wait there until the temple opens. But literally I am tired. At least I want to give rest to my back. I could see the people scattered every where in the temple premises, some people chit chatting and remaining have bed on the floor.

I came near to the house. I couldn't find those two persons....
