The village was aptly named Poongulam. If you want an example of a town rich in water resources, you have to mention Poongulam. If you go outside the town in the months of Adi and Avani(a Tamil month that falls between July and August in the English calendar.), you will see ponds, streams, drains and fields full of water and raging. Water is found everywhere.

I don't know where all these flowers came from for this town; Whether we go beyond the pond or not, the golden blossoms hanging from the sycamore trees catch the eye. Is it any wonder that Lord Shiva is so in love with those auspicious yellow flowers? Then, if we look to this side, we see that there are bunches of bonsai flowers blooming in the bonsai plants growing on the edge of the fence. We wonder how the flower got the golden color of such a change of color. If we look at the tall Kalyana Moringa tree beyond the fence, we see blood-red blossoms shaking from it.

Just look at that Shiva temple recently. How beautiful are those panneer flowers in the panneer trees growing next to the wall in the temple? How do these white flowers rest among the green foliage? When we see the coral tree next to it and the coral flowers falling like a floral skirt, we don't feel like going further.

But let's make up our minds and go towards the lake shore which is visible in the distance. As we pass through the single-track path, we notice the smell of gum and look up. It was a dead man. Nothing too spectacular to look at. However, how does the tiny flowers of that tree emit so much fragrance?

Here we have come to the lake. Only in Nandavan on the banks of the pond

Once inside, it becomes a struggle to get back out.

So, let's take a peek at it from outside. That's it

Clusters of white flowers bloom on Nandiawatta plants

Eye catching. There are hibiscus plants and a fence along the side

The cuckoo mandar and the Indian side are full of jasmine and mullei

Shaking. On one side of that pandal is the caste mull and on the other side

Sambangi also bloom and spread their fragrance throughout the Nandavana. That is easy

A single rose in the corner, like a new guest at home

stands alone with Sangojam. Two of them bloomed in clusters on one branch

Beautiful roses.

"A rose is a rose! As if to say, ``Pramada sajranandaan!'' As if to say, the marigolds are kneeling in the marigolds that grow thickly on the bank of the pond. Sendu, sendu! Look at these wonderful bouquets that the goddess of nature has made! Here comes a green parrot and sits. The branch and the natural bouquet swing together. Some divine world, you say loudly. In that divine world, can there be a more beautiful sight than this?

Finally, let's take a look at that pool. Is it a pond or a bushland? If the flower clan has an emperor, it is undoubtedly Sentamarai. What a big flower! And that too not one, two, ten, twenty; -One thousand and eleven thousand! What is their towering majesty? Are you surprised that the angel of Soundariya has taken the flower of Sentamara as her abode?

Some lilies are hiding in the corner, ashamed that they are there where Pushparaja is killed. If you look a little closer, you can see that some of the Neelothbalas are showing their heads with their petals spread out.

Yes, the white spots here and there are the cranes. But whether they are doing penance for the fish or simply standing motionless in the sight of beauty, we cannot say.

Let us turn our gaze a little elsewhere from this wonderful aesthetic scene. Let us see a small hall near the steps on the banks of the pond. In that hall now two elders who are vibhuti rudrakshadaris are sitting and performing anushtana. One of them was Dharmakarthapilla; Another was his friend Somasundaram Pillai.

"O salutations to the auspicious one!,O salutations to the auspicious one!,O salutations to the auspicious one!",...whether you know it or not! The marriage of our Chirambalam's daughter is certain," says Dharmakarthap Pillai.

"I know, but that boy Muthaiyan is being deceived. Isn't Kalyani the right girl for him?"

"A wife at least; a lad of pure deliverance! Not worthy to earn a penny. Who will give him a wife?"

"Even so, he had a lot of desire. It's the story of the one who came and took the girl who waited yesterday."

While they are talking like this, a young man comes to that hall. The latter part of the above speech falls on his ears. He climbs up the hall so that they don't see it and reaches the top. The young man was twenty, twenty-two years old. Vagana is tall and has a weedy face. It must have been a while since he cut his hair. The hair is falling and swaying all over the forehead. He shakes his head and brushes away the curls that hide his eyes. He immediately jumps into the pool saying 'Topir'. From the place where he jumped, the water rose up and splashed in all directions. Some Diwali elders who were performing rituals under the hall also fall.

"Nalla Pillai! Nalla Pillai! Only one tail is left," said Dharmakarthap Pillai.

"Rogue Muthaiyan is aptly named," says Somasundaram Pillai.

let it be; Let's see what happened to the one who jumped into the pond. Will we see Asami? One minute, two minutes, three minutes...oh it's all gone, what? - For a moment our chest does not shrink, there is a bubble in the water! A short distance away, Muthiyan lifts his head out of the water where four or five buffaloes are lying comfortably. He grabs the tail of the buffaloes and drives them away. They flow in all directions along the banks.

The two big men in the hall said, 'Damn!' 'Damn it!' Shouting, they get up and run towards the cows.

Muthaiyan swims from there and reaches a place where lotuses are blooming in the pond.

He approaches the lotus flower to pluck it. What maze is this? There is a river where the flower was

The woman's smiling face is seen! Muthyan's face shook his head once

It disappears and becomes a flower again.

Muthaiyan grabbed the flower with his fist and pulled it

He plucks. Dad! What anger! What rage! Anger and rage to that flower

Want to show off? You can pick the flower! Throw away the memory in the mind like that

Can you? Along with the muthiyan flower, pluck two lotus leaves and roll them up

He is ashore. He walks towards the village. We will follow him.
