After a six-hour journey, they reached the city and checked into their accommodation. Taking some rest, they later proceeded to the wedding hall, blessed the bride—whom they knew very well—and enjoyed a delicious lunch while spending quality time with friends. By evening, they returned to their room. After 5 p.m., they visited the famous Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple. As frequent visitors, they were familiar with the priests and were fortunate to have a peaceful and fulfilling darshan. Back at the hotel, their neighbor mentioned, “Madam, if you would like home-style food, you must visit Athithi Satkaram Kaingaryam place near the temple. You will be amazed.” The next morning, curious and eager, they visited the place. To their surprise, nearly 100 people were seated and enjoying a wholesome meal served with two varieties of sweets and several delicious dishes. Volunteers warmly served everyone with smiles.
