Kuchela Dinam, Kuchela day, is observed on the first Wednesday of Dhanu Masam (December – January) as per traditional Hindu calendar followed at Guruvayur Sri Krishna Temple in Kerala. Kuchela Dinam is on December 20th, 2023. The day commemorates (honorable mention of) the meeting of Kuchela, a friend and schoolmate, and Lord Sri Krishna in Dwaraka. Kuchela was a childhood friend and a poor brahmin living in borbandhar, Gurajat,India. He came to visit Lord Sri Krishna in Dwaraka after many years upon His wife's request as they were very poor family. There were many merchants or rich people waiting to see Lord Sri Krishna for many months in HIS palace. Lord Sri Krishna, with HIS blessings on Sudhama, went into HIS palace very quickly. He was given very high loving, honor and hospitality by Lord Sri Krishna, Mother Sri Rukmini and other queens with so much love and affection in the palace. Lord Sri Krishna and Mother Sri Rukmini did paada puja (washing the feet of Sudhama with holy water and flowers and so on). Lord Krishna was kindly, lovingly was asking Sudhama what have you brought for me knowing well what was in Sudhama's mind. Sudhama was very shy to show He has brought 4 handfull of beaten rice (aval) being very poor and nothing to offer to Lord Sri Krishna. Lord Sri Krishna with so much happiness, love and affection took one handfull of rice into HIS mouth and said "aahaa!! This is very delicious and this is my favorite food". HE took the second handfull of rice and was about to take into into HIS mouth, mother Sri Rukmini kindly touched HIS hand said you have given Him enough. This world will not able to take anymore if you take another handfull(pidi). Lord Sri Krishna smilingly did not take the second handfull of beaten rice (aval). Sudhama was so happy and did not ask Lord Sri Krishna anything. Lord Sri Krishna also sent Him back home smilingly. But, when Sudhama went back to HIS town and home, His entire home changed into huge luxurious, rich palace with many many servants dressing up in high quaility cloths and jewels serving Him and His family and palace was filled with full of gold as jewels, vessals and everything. The entire area became very very rich. Sudhama was crying and felt who can measure the love and affection of Lord Sri Krishna towards His devotees!! He lived through out His life, thinking about Lord Sri Krishna and and HIS leelas and singing HIS glories as a pure Bhagavatha!! To honor this day, every year, this day is celebrated as Kuchelar day!!
