The sun over Tirukoshtiyur stands high and merciless, the kind of noon heat that empties the streets and sends even the crows to shade. But today the streets are not empty. Beneath the eastern gopuram of the temple, a crowd has gathered — farmers with dust still on their feet, women who left their cooking fires untended, children hoisted onto shoulders to see better, old men who have not climbed a temple step in years leaning now on younger arms to be here. They do not fully understand why they have been called. They only know that the tall Brahmin from Srirangam, the one whose face carries both fire and tenderness in equal measure, is standing on the tower above them, and that he is calling their names — not their individual names, for he does not yet know most of them, but the name of what they are: children of the Lord, every one of them, waiting to be told a secret that was never meant to leave a single room. He raises both arms. His voice, when it comes, does not waver the way a man's voice wavers when he is about to do something forbidden.
