My family is pretty widely distributed across the globe, but most of them make their way to Kozhumadai (a short drive from Thoothukudi), where the family deity resides, whenever they visit India. Those living in India usually make an annual visit. It's a trip I make once a decade or thereabouts, but my mother goes every year. Our extended family is quite large, and recently an uncle in Thoothukudi undertook a fundraising drive to rebuild parts of the temple structure around the deity, which is a Saastha, and has existed as a stone without shelter for decades.
