Eadu Thodangal is a significant tradition observed during Vijaya Dasami, especially for children. It is only after this formal ceremony that one can guide a child in learning to write. Eadu Thodangal is typically conducted in temples or schools.
While we were in Bandarawela, we decided to partake in this ritual since many children initiate their Eadu Thodangal here. We were instructed to bring a new notebook, a pencil, a tray or thambalam filled with raw rice, and a children's study book. We purchased the archanai (pooja) ticket and patiently waited our turn in line.
The head priest, known as the Iyar, conducted the ceremony. He offered prayers and then dipped a pencil in honey, placing it in Keerthi's mouth. Subsequently, the Iyar held her hand and taught her a few Tamil alphabets, instructing her to recite them. Then, with her hand in his, he wrote Tamil letters in the raw rice. The same procedure was repeated with the new notebook and pencil.
Following the ceremony, we offered prayers and performed archanai to Lord Murugan, the main deity

Here, in this charming abode, we discovered the essence of Sri Lankan cuisine – a feast fit for kings and commoners alike. As we perused the menu, we were presented with a tantalizing choice: the option to indulge in the rich tapestry of flavors that is Sri Lankan rice and curry, available in both vegetarian and non-vegetarian renditions. For those seeking the carnivorous thrill, succulent chicken and tender pork awaited.
And it didn't stop there; the accompaniments were nothing short of a symphony of tastes. A luscious spread of coconut sambal, creamy dhal, aromatic raw jackfruit curry, and the intriguing bitterness of bitter gourd poriyal graced our table. As if that weren't enough, a radiant radish leaf salad added freshness to the ensemble.

When harmoniously mixed with the vibrant array of vegetables and the robust pork curry, it was nothing short of an epicurean revelation. The flavors danced in unison on our taste buds, creating a symphony of delight that transcended the sum of its parts.In the end, this unassuming treasure by the road became more than just a meal; it transformed into an experience, a culinary journey through the heart of Sri Lanka.

For almost four decades, this charming eatery operated by a wonderful elderly couple near Trichy airport has been serving delightful idly dishes straight from their cozy home.
Though the space may be little, their hearts are enormous, as they warmly welcome and engage with all visitors. Every idly is served with a generous side of love. What more could one desire? Three idlies for 10 rupees, or a single dosa for the same price!
The quality of the food is truly remarkable given its extremely reasonable price point. The idlies are pillowy soft, and the accompanying sambar and chutneys are simply divine.
Remarkably, their spicy chutney is crafted from tomatoes, despite the significant increase in tomato prices. They remain steadfast in their commitment to providing exceptional value to their customers.
Breakfast & Dinner is served at this idly kadai.
This is an absolute must-visit destination, not only for the delectable offerings but also for the heartwarming experience it provides.
