Taramala Eighth bead of the Taramala In the bustle of busy life, Inner voice echoes unfulfillment. A void unexplainable, A suffering inescapable.

Life's boat leaps…

Taramala Seventh bead of the Taramala Jingling bells announce the arrival of cows; dust and aroma fill the air, commencing Godhuli Muhurtam.
