I don’t even know what to say. I wanted to keep this to myself— but the joy of sharing this experience just took over. I couldn’t keep it in.

✨ It was simply magical to play this humble old organ at my hometown church. I rehearsed a lot, and eventually got permission from the parish priest to use it for a few of my tracks.

Honestly? I don’t feel like I’m good enough. That voice in my head—the imposter syndrome—is loud. I never studied music theory formally. I’m self-taught. And that makes me feel exposed sometimes.

But I wanted to do something more real for Pillow Lineage. Something beyond just sitting alone in my studio. Something lived.

So I’ve been trying to stretch a little. Reaching out to other musicians— and especially my husband (🤞 hopefully I’ll get him to play some jazz parts on future tracks).

All I hope is that something beautiful comes out of this—for you. Because if I keep making music, it’s largely because of the wild, vital, electric energy I get from you.

Thank you. From the bottom of my heart. 💛

The Enigmatic Splendor of Padmanabhaswamy Temple: A Blend of History, Architecture, and Mystery

The Padmanabhaswamy Temple, located in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, stands as one of India’s most revered and enigmatic temples. Dedicated to Lord Vishnu, who is worshipped here in the form of Padmanabha (in the reclining posture of "Anantha Shayanam"), this ancient temple not only reflects the spiritual heritage of Kerala but also holds the distinction of being one of the richest temples in the world.

History and Cultural Significance

The origins of the Padmanabhaswamy Temple trace back to antiquity, with references found in ancient Hindu texts such as the Sangam literature (circa 500 BCE to 300 CE). The temple was closely tied to the Travancore royal family, who ruled their kingdom in the name of Lord Padmanabha, considering themselves “Padmanabha Dasa” (Servants of Lord Padmanabha). In fact, the kings of Travancore were consecrated as mere regents, governing the land under the deity's divine authority.

This bond between royalty and the temple has made it a significant cultural landmark. Festivals, rituals, and traditions associated with the temple reflect Kerala's religious and cultural ethos. One of the major festivals celebrated here is the Alpasi Utsavam, drawing thousands of devotees annually.

Architectural Grandeur

The architecture of the Padmanabhaswamy Temple is a magnificent representation of the Dravidian style, which is characterized by towering gopurams (gateway towers) and intricate stone carvings. The main tower (gopuram) of the temple, standing at around 100 feet tall, is adorned with beautiful carvings of deities, dancers, and mythological figures, showcasing the artistry and devotion that went into its construction.

One of the temple’s most striking features is the idol of Lord Vishnu, which is approximately 18 feet long and lies in a reclining posture on the serpent Anantha (Adishesha). The sheer size of the deity is remarkable, and devotees must view the idol through three separate doors—each offering a glimpse of the deity's head, midsection, and feet. The majestic figure is embellished with exquisite jewels, adding to the temple’s spiritual and material opulence.

Additionally, the temple’s interiors are decorated with murals and paintings that narrate stories from Hindu epics, including the Ramayana and Mahabharata. The fusion of religious symbolism with artistic craftsmanship creates an atmosphere of sacred beauty.

The Mysteries of the Vaults

The most intriguing aspect of the Padmanabhaswamy Temple is its underground vaults, which have been the subject of global attention and speculation. In 2011, the Indian Supreme Court ordered the opening of these vaults, leading to the discovery of an enormous treasure consisting of gold coins, jewels, crowns, and idols, making it one of the wealthiest religious institutions in the world.

However, the Vault B of the temple remains sealed, with many legends and myths surrounding its contents. Devotees and mystics believe that opening this particular vault without following sacred protocols could bring misfortune. The unopened vault adds an aura of mystery, attracting both devotees and treasure seekers, making the temple a focal point of intrigue and speculation.

Conclusion

The Padmanabhaswamy Temple stands as a symbol of Kerala’s spiritual depth, architectural excellence, and historical significance. Its connection to the Travancore royal family, combined with its stunning architecture and the mystique of its hidden treasures, makes it a unique destination for pilgrims and historians alike. Whether you are drawn by its sacred atmosphere or the unsolved mysteries that surround it, Padmanabhaswamy Temple offers an experience of awe and reverence that transcends time.
