Image
We went pon vilaintha kalathur. Here 3 temple are there. 1. Lakshimi narayana swamy temple. 2. Pattabhisheha ramar & Sethu ramar. 3. Mukkudumi eswarar. Enroute to ponvilaithakalathur we visited Chettipuniyam. This very famous for yoga hayagreevar. Students come here with pens, notebooks placed before hayagreevar to get his blessings to do well in their exams. Moolavar is varadaraja perumal.urchavar is yoga hayagreevar. He is very small and wearing muttangi it is very beautiful. Bhattar is very patient enough to take pens and notebooks from bhaktas and returning it back to them after placing them in Hayagreevars feet.To write the exam roll number instead of wall there is a board here. I really liked this idea. Another interesting attraction is in the prabharam there is a tree, people will tie a knot to get the blessings for marriage. We first went to pattabhisheha ramar. Here Sita was sitting on ramas lap like Bhatrachala ramar. There is a big srinivasan her...

First we ( Vichu atimber, Visalam akka, murali, Saradha, Prakrithi, Prithivi, Srinath and myself) went to Koviladi. One of the Divyadesam. This perumal is known as “appakudathan”. There was a power cut when we were inside. The invertor also drained. We are waiting in the queue. Slowly moved near perumal, The bhattar was so patient enough to explain the details of perumal in amidst crowd. He was fully sweating. We are thinking what a tough job it is? we are working in the AC rooms. Here bhattar was working without any help from the visitors. Not listening to his words calmly. It is one of the panchal ranga shetrams. This is the middle one, other four are Mysore Srirangapatnam Aathi Rangam, Srirangam Kasturi Rangam, Kumabakonam Saarangapani and Thiru Indhalur Parimala Rangam.
