The Trichy-V.Koil-Guruvayoor Trip 14.02.09 Part 1

The first temple was Kasi Vishwanathan temple in Thennur, which was located in the same street where Savithri Chithi was staying. In fact, Chithi’s address itself is “Vishwanathapuram”, named after the temple. The private temple was built more than 200 years before by Mrs. Jayalakshmi’s (the person on the right hand side in the picture to your left) father-in law’s great grand father.

Note the entrance to the temple. Note Kutti Ani between the large entrance. The temple, though looks neat and clean, is in need of renovation – the Odu (tiles) need to be changed and the entire temple could do with a coat of paint and Chithi tells me that the Vigrahams are shaky and need the Oushadam which is usually kept while doing the Khumbhabhishekam. However, Jaya mami is adamant that she will do Khumbhabishekam only if her 45 year old daughter’s marriage is fixed!!

 

We came back, had Kanji and left for our next destination – Thayumaana Swami (Malai Koil).
