Worth Seeing!!!



I had been to the Thennangur Pandurangan Ragumayi Temple lately....it takes around 2.5 - 3 hrs travel from Chennai...you need to go through Chengelpet take a diversion from there to Vandavasi. The temple is situated 4 kms before you reach Vandavasi. You can see its 120 feet tall gopuram on your right when you are almost nearing the temple.



This is one temple I visited which had its premises very quite and peaceful....no announcements made, no pushing crowds, no poojari's or temple vasi's shoving you to move further...you have all the time to admire the beauty of the god and goddess....the speciality of this temple is that the prathishta stands 12 feet tall and each day the god and goddess is dressed in different avatars and forms...raja avatar, guruvayoor appan avatar, krishna avatar, vennai alankaram, pazham alankaram, velli alankaram etc etc....the walls and ceilings of the temple inside is decorated with beautiful glass fibre paintings scripting the main incidents of Krishna Leela.

This temple is really worth visiting!!!!
