Resurrecting the lost glory



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.
