been to vaiitheeswaran koil and thirunallaru temples recently.
first was happy to see water in the tank. Then came to know that springs ( ootru) are dried and channels ( madai) are blocked due to construction.
Now there are deep bores in both tanks and they are pumping water daily.
Now in peak summer no water in thiruvanaikka jambukeswarar sannidhi.
The Mukkulams of tiruvenkadu (silappadigaram and thevaram fame) could not be used when i visited 5 years back. Dont know how they are now? The sthalam, vriksham, theertham and moorthi - all are our heritage.
