I completed everything on time and even had some time left for the photo session, but unfortunately at that moment we had some unexpected guests and I was pressured to take a hurried shots. So in that hurry, forgot to assemble the Kesari Bath for the picture. Athamma said I should include that and take another photo, but I was too exhausted to do anything else after that.
