  • Thank you SPS, Sankar & Chandra,
    for alerting me about Keezhaiyur article. Very interesting about
    vimana mirroring form of the ShivaLingam.
    No mention about repairs planned, but nice that it's brought to
    publics attn.
    I recommend you visit it sometime: wonderful murthis, esp. the
    dvarapalakas & bhutamalas.
    Mothers would be wonderful, too, if cleaned up.
