I fondly recall my boyhood days in Madurai when we used to make a trip to the Vaigai river to immerse the clay statue of Pillayaar.
>>>So the immersion in a river/sea is a common custom then? We used to use the well then and I thought everyone did that.

Immersion in the ocean or river used to be a tradition in the old days. Our common friend was just a year old when both his parents died being swept away by the waves at the marina beach in 1960 during such an event. Sad.
