Gentle reminder on this year's kudumbayogam which is on May 20th(Sunday) @ Ombathungal Sree Mahavishnu Kshethram Oottupura. (The family temple of Late Raman Menon the first family member) The sponser for this day is Mr. Sasidharan, who is celebrating his Shastipurthi. Hope whoever is outside kerala would have planned your travel accordingly; and those here would not have made anyother plans for this day. Let us all welcome ourselves as there is no guest and host difference in kudumbayogam. Hope you would have something in mind to make it memorable in a positive way with your wholehearted presence and cooperation.
