The Magnificent Gopuram of the Chidambaram Temple
The Grand Gopuram with the Temple Tank in the Foreground
Intricate Work on Wood on the Temple Chariot
My good friend Zafar had booked a room for us at the
Pillayar (Lord Ganesh) Temple inside the Temple Compound
Nataraja is lord Shiva in his Ananda Tandava form which is the cosmic dance of bliss.
We did a puja for our loved ones in the temple; the ritual in the temple was to remove the shirts for the males. The puja was a good experience and we had the coconuts from the puja as a prasadam.
Corridors near the Temple Tank
With its tall gopurams (gates) and majestic stone arches, the temple is sight to be seen. The large temple tank and the corridors in the vicinity add a splendour that is unsurpassed by any.
An Old Temple near the Mada Streets of the Main Temple
We highly recommend this temple to be visited by all devout people as more than the religious fervour, it provides a time for us to unite with the powers beyond us and rise above the material needs of our world.
