shri.Kunjan Namboodiri was working as a Poojari (Melsanthi)in a village Temple. He was a learned person who was friendly with people in the Village because of holihis knowledge in the local language and Sanskrit and was respected by all in the village. His childhood friend Krishnan Nair after taking retirement Reached the village to see his childhood friend Kunjan Namboodiri.Both of them were very happy to see each other. Krishnan Nair who was to inaugurate his house in the city with a "Palukaachal" ceremony ,invited Shri. Namboodiri to the city.He thought he can use the opportunity to show Shri Namboodiri all the important places worth seeing besides introducing his friends and family to Shri Namboodiri who readily agreed to accompany him. So Shri Kunjan Namboodiri entrusted his pujari duties to one of his friends in the village and left for city with Krishnan Nair.On reaching the city they had a nice time for a couple of days and finally the day of inauguration of the house of Shri.Krishnan nair arrived.
