  • -Dear Gokul,

    Very interesting. Did you write in March 2003 or 2004?

    Incidentally only a fortnight back I visited this temple.. I also
    visited two other temples near by on my way to Verdanarayanaperumal
    temple in Thirunarayanapuram (near Musiri - on Cauvery banks)....

    Last night I read in detail of Nallur temple built by Kochenganan -
    pertaining to Amarneedhi nayanar (Gemini Ganesh plays Siva role &
    Sivaji plays AN Nayanar - washerman role - in Thiruvilayadal movie).

    Dr.Nagasamy, with the help of an elderly local person, identified
    about 16 statues - including NALLUR ADALVALLAN (Nataraja) - in an
    undergound bunker!

    Dr.Sethuraman wrote that Nallur Kali was found based on Nadijothidam
    from the undergound bunker! He also wrote a similar Kali would be
    found in the 80s.. and accordingly Ammankudi Kali was found (Yeah ..
    our Krishnanaraman's Ammankudi)....

    Nallur was earlier known as Panchavanmadevi Chathurvedi mangalam!

    I think you are getting to publish your collections.. Congrats...

    Fondly, SB
  • Dear G...

    Read your article/story - really cool :-) The way you've carried your
    narration is great.

    Made me want to visit the place at once. Wonder when I'm going to do
    that.
  • Dear Gokul,

    Wonderful narration. I just could not do anything for
    about half an hour after reading your pages. I was
    lost - in those sweet memory of good old days.

    The days I walked from Manamedu to Tirueengoimali,
    cross the river, take a bus to Ayermali .....

    I have been to Srinivasnallur earlier in my childhood
    days, but never had the time to look at the temple in
    detail. Next time I will ...

    Thanks for those beautiful pictures, and putting me
    back to those wonderful days.
  • Dear Gokul,

    have spent some time & read the article ..

    nice & neat article , made me feel that the time spent is worth.

    some of my comments

    1. kaali Neeli statue narration is intresting . i had seen many
    sinmilar statues in many temples. it will be fine if u can reveal the
    hidden secrets behind those statues too.

    2. The preparation of the sirpi for making the Dhatchana Moorthy
    statue shows how much professional they were ...

    3. photos are amazing.

    4. u have good screen play talent. keep going.

    Thanks for sharing these with us.

    Reg : caste system , it is not the age of caste or religion ,

    I believe that Science , Industrial as well as information
    Techonology revolution will put an end to the caste & religion
    system in atleast 100 yrs.. ( after all 100 yrs is not a big time in
    history terms). so move ahead with hope

Howdy, Stranger!
