Welcoming Amma, Students of Amrita Vidyalayam Perform Play

6 Jan 2007 —Amma's first visit to Kozhikode was at a devotee's house back in 1984. Since then, Amma's public programmes have drawn huge crowds. In 1993, the Brahmasthanam Temple was inaugurated and successive programmes have been held there. Kozhikode is Amma's Vrindavan – home to thousands of fervent and passionate devotees. During the Brahmasthanam festivals, thousands of people would stand in line in the hot sun and cold nights with family members of all ages for hours to receive her trademark embrace.

After the ceremonies, Amma began giving darshan. Students from the three Amrita vidyalayam schools in Kozhikode then presented a multi-act play about Kerala – "God's Own Country" - depicting scenes from the many religious festivals held in Kerala throughout the year.
