There was a very large crowd being a very sunny Sunday, and the Rathyatra fitted perfectly into the relaxed mood of the sea-side. | |||||

| The Ratha cart arrived at "The Crescent" where the stage crew had put up the stage and sound system. The programme started with guru puja. It was a typical happy sea-side family crowd. | ||
 |
|||
| The play was original and enjoyable with Me, My Body and My Mind performed with verve and energy. The crowd appreciated and enjoyed the play. | |||

| This was the tail end of the prasadam queue, which was served in a nearby hotel. Prasadam was very tasty. | ||
