From the same link above. a news clipping from the Hindu.
<b>"Miraculous events ended on April 24th 1975 "</b>
Heavy rain after Yagam
Trichur, April 25
The 12-day "Athirathra yagna" ended at Panjal, 30 Kms from here, on Thursday with the completion of all the rites and burning of the yagnasala. (sheds).
An hour later, a heavy downpour fell over the area which the sponsors claimed was true to tradition and marked the "success" of the yagna. Those present at the concluding rites claimed that a "garuda"(eagle) flew over the yagnasala as it was set on fire, in confirmation of another traditional belief.
Trichur town too had a heavy shower last evening.
--The Hindu : Indiaâs leading National Daily
(I remember sometime around May 1990, there was an Athiratram performed, and on May 9th, in the midst of summer) there was a heavy torrent of rains in all of south India that it almost flooded nellore and other parts of Andhra.
