Cross posting from the Ithihasas, puranas thread.
------------------------
Hi All,
Some of you might remember me posting in BR a year ago. I really missed these discussions over the last year. When i came back to BR, i found that the mandate of the forum has changed and lot of people not posting there. Felt really sad about it . Thanks to Peregerine, landed here and found some really interesting discussions here.
Of late, visited a lot of temples in the Kumbakonam belt before and after the mahamaham. During Mahamaham, couldn't even enter periphery of Kumbakonam. Each one of the temples were mind boggling. Some of you might like to visit them.
On account of Mahamaham, most of the temples around Kumbakonam got a facelift, thanks to amma's initiative. Everybody who went to kumbakonam on the mahamaham were raving about the organization of the event and the faclities.
Some temples in and around Kumbakonam which i visited and the temples are which are quite old
1. Airavadeswarar temple in Darasuram - Currently maintained by Archeological dept.
2. Chakrapani
3. Sarangapani
4. Kumbeshwarar
5. Uppiliappan
6. Swamimalai - Lord Swaminatha
7. Thiruchatti mutram -
8. Batteswaram - Durgai
9. Thiruvalanchuzhi - Vigneshwara
10. Thiruvidai marudhur
11. Thirubhuvanam - Sarabeshwarar
12. Utthukadu- Kalinga nardhanar temple
13. Srirangam
14. Thiruvanaikaval
15. Samayapuram
16. Brihadeswarar temple - Thanjavur
17. Vaideeshwaran temple
18. Srimushnam - Yagna Varaha swami
19. Sirkali Sattainathar - Where Shiva wears Vishnu has his shirt
20. Thiruvalangadu- Akora Murthy (also a budha stalam)
21. Thiruvarur
22. Thirunageswaram
23. Ayyavadi
24. Nachiar Koil
25. Punnai nallur mariyamman
Visited some more, but dont rember them over my head. Will try to write up some info on the chief dieties in each of the temples and their significance in the coming days. If this is not the right thread, i can post in some others.
Regards
