Divya desa trip experiences of Smt Godha Sridharan, Chennai

Divya desa trip experiences of Smt Godha Sridharan, ChennaiThis write-up is about the visit to temples around Kumbakonam and Tanjavur. On 04/16/04, three of us (Ramadurai mama, myself and my mother) left to Tanjavur by RockFort Express. We reached Tanjore the next day morning around 7.00 AM and were received by Mr. Rajendran. He took us straight to Smt Vaidehi’s home where we refreshed ourselves and got ready for the day’s visit. We visited Manikundra Perumal temple (adjacent to Smt Vaidehi’s home) and had a wonderful darshan here. Later we went to Neelamega Perumal temple and Narasimhar temple. These three temples are together considered as one DivyaDesam ‘Thanjhai Mamani Koil”. After having darshan in these three temples ,we had breakfast in Smt Vaidehi’s home (Thanks to their hospitality). Our next stop was at ThiruKandiyur temple. Perumal’s thirunamam is Harasabha Vimochana Perumal. By the time we reached, Bhattar was busy and so we had a good 10 minute waiting in front of the Perumal and enjoyed his Thirumeni Azhagu. Later the Bhattar came and gave us theertham and Satari prasadams and we left for Thirukudaloor. Here Perumal is JagathRakshagan And He has a sengol in His hand (if I remember it right). We had a good darshan here also.
