ഷൊര്ണ്ണൂരില്‍ നിന്നും പട്ടാന്പി വഴി വളാഞ്ചേരി റൂട്ടില്‍ ഏകദേശം 20 കിലോമീറ്റര്‍ പോയാല്‍ നടുവട്ടം ബസ്സ് സ്റ്റോപ്പില്‍ ഇറങ്ങിയാല്‍ രായിരെല്ലൂര്‍ മലയിലേക്ക് നടന്നു കയറാം.  മഴയില്ലാത്ത ഏതു ദിവസവും പോകാം. അധികം പേരുണ്ടാവില്ലെന്നു മാത്രം.  നല്ല പ്രകൃഭംഗി ആസ്വദിക്കാം.

Today, on the first of Thulam, thousands of devotees climb up the hill to have a darshan of Devi, believed to have been worshiped by the famous lunatic of Naranath, a son of Vararuchi, the wandering Brahman, whose tribal wife gave birth to twelve sons, each one of whom was brought up by people of different castes, because the woman was forbidden to look after her children, and, each one became famous in his vocation. The lunatic used to roll up a huge stone, all the way up the steep hill and then push it down. He would watch the stone come down crashing along the bush and shout with glee: HA HA HA. He may be mocking the futility of life. Every one is pushing up the hill, not knowing what else to do. During this time, it rains and it is very fifficult to go up the steep hill. I slipped once or twice. The large number of devotees, many quite aged as myself, did not bother about it When we reach the top, we can enjoy the scenery, it being tall and the only hill in the area. The greenery is monotonous (to me), as everywhere in this land, one can see only trees. Some times I yearn for the large expanse of land in Rajasthan, with hardly any shrub! The descend along the gentle slope is is easy; but the narrow path allows only movement in single file, occasionally blocked by those ascending the hill. Today my heart is at Rayiinellur.   www.keralites.net
