One of the ancient temples built during the rule of the Pandya Kings was resurrected at Konthalam in Erode District on 31st May 2012. It was preceded by elaborate vedic ceremonies with deep spiritual fervor. Many felt as though they had returned to witness the reenactment of what happened at the same venue circa 800AD.
At the entry point of the main motorway it looked like any other obscure village but once we got closer to the renovated Thiru Nageswara- Varadaraja temple, we were enraptured by the sculptural aesthetics. The consecration ceremony was performed by eminent vedic Pundits from across the State ably supported by the vedic team from Sri Sri Gurukul. The finale was witnessed by several thousands who basked in the Celestial Nectar nama sankirtan the previous night when the sky was resplendent with color filled pyrotechnics.
