The Offering
Madurai smells of jasmine at four in the afternoon and of camphor by seven. The Amman sanctum is entered before the Sundareswarar one — the goddess first, always, in this city. Panchamirtham here is dense and dark and keeps for a fortnight. We collect after the Kalasanthi puja and add the jasmine that was on the garland.

Panchamirtham that my mother approved of
My mother is eighty-one and very particular about Madurai panchamirtham — she can tell the temple one from the market one in a single spoon. She took one taste and asked me to order it every month. That is the highest certificate you will get from this house.
