The day began with the three of us greeting mother and receiving her asirvadams. Due to Covid pandemic conditions the question of going out for a long drive or picnic or eating out in a restaurant was ruled out. We had to be satisfied with planning a subdued celebration at home. Shobha prepared a nice home cooked meal with Avial, Sambar, Appalams and Sakkarai Pongal to celebrate her special day - special in the sense that her date of birth and nakshatram date coincided and fell on the same day. This rare occurrence happens once in 19 years and at 95 this was one such year. Meanwhile at Chennai Meenakshi and Sidharth arranged a special cake cutting ceremony accompanied by blowing of candles and singing of Happy Birthday. And actually consuming large chunks of the yummylicious cake.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">day however was far from quiet and turned out to be unexpectedly eventful & momentous. The family WhatsApp groups were clogged with messages of greetings and memorable collage of photos from archives posted by various members. A surprise courier parcel arrived on 29th morning - a beautiful bouquet of roses with a greeting card from Sambamoorthy Anna & Janaki Manni. A most poignant happening of the day was a telephone call from my 97 year old Rasu Chittappa (G.Hariharan) the Patriarch of the KRGanapathy IyerFly to my 95 year old mother Matriarch of JudgeRamakrishnaIyerFly. The two exchanged news & pleasantries for close to 20 minutes.Later there was an emotional phone call from younger sister 93 year old Lalitha who lives in Delhi. A pre recorded video message from 88 year old brother Rajamoney mama reminiscing about the childhood days. Then there were telephone calls from Meenakshi & Sidhu and multiple calls from nephews and nieces - many living across India and some living abroad. These included Sambamoorthy, Natarajan, Lakshmi from Mumbai, Chuppu - Mala from Delhi, Dr.Jaya & Narendran, Vichu-Anirvin-Viji from Bangaluru, Bala from Chicago and Lakshmi from California. Raji Chennai and Ranjana from Boston also called and had extensive chats. Apart from this there were around 40 pre recorded video greetings received from close family members from across the country as well as from around the globe. All these video greetings are posted below.Mother was agog with surprise and excitement while watching the videos. She asked how did all these people know it was my birthday ?(I had kept the advance planning of the videos a closely guarded secret) Also received recorded audio message from Moorthy Mama,Kamala Mami who have sung a Happy Birthday song. Regrettably I am unable to upload audio messages in this blog. It was indeed a roller coaster day for my mother. The wishes and greetings kept pouring in and it was simply overwhelming. At the end of the day mother was a wee bit tired but deliriously happy. Thank you family for having joined hands to make this perhaps the most memorable and unforgettable birthday of my mother's life by expressing your bountiful love and unbounded affection. We are part of an astonishing and incredible family and you only need to watch these amazing videos to understand the close affinity, the depth of emotion & affection, the astonishing ethos which has kept us all closely attached & networked in this 21st century. If anything with technological progress the family bonds are today stronger than ever before.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Below are posted the pre recorded video greeting that had been sent in advance and played out to mother on her birthday.

Dr.Rajendra Prasad was appointed the first President. We are today the World's largest democracy. There have been no coups unlike in our neighboring countries and the military continues to be a disciplined outfit. No dictators, despots or autocrats only democratically elected governments. We have remained largely secular and many social, political & economic reforms have been successfully effected. Several social ills however remain in force like corruption, caste discrimination & reservations for minorities. However people retain freedom of speech, right to protest and to seek justice in courts of law. Huge progress have been made in virtually all sectors of the economy be it manufacturing, healthcare, IT or education. But the disparity between the rich and the poor remains and the gap is only widening. Moral values have eroded and ethical practices are dwindling. There is growing intolerance both amongst the political class as well as public.<br />
The country is facing increasing pollution levels due to indiscriminate growth & largescale deforestation. As a result of global warming the country is witnessing disastrous climatic conditions like tsunami, large scale flooding of cities, extreme summers with consequent spread of dreaded diseases and viral infections of epidemic proportions. Indiscriminate deforestation and uncontrolled development has also led to erosion and near extinction of several species of wildlife.<br />
India remains religiously and culturally diverse and has such a rich heritage and history. A wide divergence of languages & traditions and an array of cuisines and multitude of ancient monuments. There is so much to see and experience. India is an amazing country and notwithstanding such wide diversity there is astonishing unity. It takes only a victory from our boys in blue to bring the nation to its feet as one composite nation applauding her heroes without considerations of religion, caste, creed,customs, language,cuisine.<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129;">Visited the Sri Dattatreya Anjaneya temple in Aluva. There are sanctums for Dattatreya, Karyasiddhi Anjaneyar & Patala Panchamukha Anjaneyar. A temple with a difference it has colourful and artistically done paintings on temple & sanctum walls.The temple is like an oasis with neatly manicured lawns and mesmerizing lighting. People offer coconut pooja to the Karyasiddhi Anjaneyar. There is complete silence inside the temple and you feel enveloped in feelings of piety and sanctity. The recently consecrated Panchamukha Anjaneya kshetram is mystifying: The idol is installed subterranean and has faces of Anjaneya,Garuda,Aswa,Narasimha & Varaha.

<span style="font-size: large;">There were two important events the Patna Xaverian's 65 batch planned to participate.The first was the wedding of the very charming and beautiful Pranati & extremely handsome and dashing Petar at Jamshedpur's famous Telco Club. Pranati is the daughter of Pradeep and Poonam Mahtha and Petar hails from Bulgaria. Both are highly qualified and currently based in Europe. The wedding ceremony comprised four parts ie. Reception cum engagement, Sangeeth, Mehendi & finally the wedding. A quintessential North Indian wedding - a three day ostentatious affair conducted in a grandiose manner. The proceedings actually commenced on 26 November with a reception cum engagement at the sprawling and well illuminated lawns of the Telco Club creating a mesmerizing and magical ambiance & electric atmosphere. The ceremonies culminated with the tying of the mangalsutra and sath pheras on 28th late night.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A cornucopia of pictures from the wedding forwarded by friends as well as a few candid ones shared by Pradeep are posted below. An Indo Bulgarian wedding, a celebration of widely contrasting religions,cultures, habits and cuisines. Xaverians and their spouses were accommodated at the very elite Beldih Club. From the pictures it is evident that </span><span style="font-size: large; text-align: center;">every one had a wonderful time, there was great revelry and much fun and entertainment. And of course a range of delicious cuisine to excite the taste buds of the connoisseurs.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We Xavierians wish the couple a wonderful,exciting & blissful life journey together.</span><br />

We took a deviation leading to the Malola Narasimhar Temple. A narrow weather beaten boulder laden track with steps at periodical intervals, some rather steep, not regularly used by pilgrims. We were in the cocoon of nature completely isolated with no signs of human life, surrounded by sublime enchanting views. We encountered no rushing streams or gushing waterfalls, no sounds of swaying trees or rustling leaves. The silence was startling and the silhouettes and shadows chasing us were frightening. We trudged along bravely and within an hour we reached Malola Narasimhar an unpretentious non descript structure. The temple was about to close but the priest had been informed about our arrival and was waiting for us. As is usual we offered dry fruits to the Lord which after receiving the Lords blessings were returned to as prasadam.</span><br />

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This is yet another cave temple situated on the Vedathiri hills where Ma Lakshmi did penance. Malola means Ma(mother)-Lola(affection).Here Sri Narasimhar strikes an affectionate pose with four hands.He is in sitting position with folded left leg and Chenchu Lakshmi on his lap. The upper hands hold Sanku and Chakram. The lower right hand is in protective pose or Abhaya Hastham while the lower left hand is hugging the Goddess.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">From here on wards it was a steep descent down a few dozen steps as we watched the glorious Bhavasini rive meandering below in tranquility. We reached Krodha or Varaha Narasimhar for a second time. But alas our luck was not on our side. The temple was closed once again and we we were not fortunate to receive the Lords blessings. Here the Lord appears with the body of Narasimhar and the head of Varahar and Lakshmi seated on his lap.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">We returned to the base at Ahobilam deposited our bamboo sticks and prayed at Ahobilam. Out final stop was at Karanja Narasimhar around 1 Km from Ahobilam. Once again this temple was closed for repairs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21;">In conclusion this is by far the most amazing and awesome trek ever undertaken. Located in the lush green and dense Nallamala forest in the heart of the Eastern Ghats in Cuddapah district in Rayalaseema in Andhra Pradesh. A precipitous climb in pouring rain through rocky terrain wading through knee deep water in pebble strewn streams & witnessing multiple waterfalls. Reached the pinnacle after the arduous climb actually walking right through a waterfall fully drenched to witness the glorious sights of Jwala Narasimhar, the Ugra Sthambham & the Garudadri hills. An unparalleled, overwhelming,awe inspiring & hugely humbling experience.</span></span><br />

We had a commanding view of the Eastern Ghats from the balcony abutting our rooms. We were getting ready for the final phase of our Ahobilam trip. So far the weather had been kind and conducive and there had been no obstacles. As we gazed at the ghats we witnessed a swathe of cloud cover and torrential rain battering down on the hills and in no time there was heavy downpour all around us. While the sight of the rain was electrifying and enthralling it also threw a spanner in our trekking plans for the afternoon. In a conundrum and after a brief spell of vacillation we decided to move on. The car dropped us off at Upper Ahobilam around 8 Kms from our guest house located at an altitude of 2800 feet on the banks of the Bhavanashini river cradled between Garudathiri and Vedathiri hills. By then the rain had almost completely receded and we were naturally elated. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">In Ahobilam Narasimhar is a ferocious form as he wanted to give darshan to both Devas and Garuda in the same form as when he killed Hiranyakashipu. Garuda did penance so that he could worship the Lord in the Narasimha avatar. Hence one range is called the Garudathiri hills. Next to this is a smaller sanctum of Chenchu Lakshmi who is considered a reincarnation of Mahalakshmi. She was reborn into a hunter family and did penance in order to remarry Lord Vishnu in the current avatar. Hence the second hill range is called Vedathiri hills.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">At Ahobilam we collected bamboo sticks (available for hire) to protect ourselves from possible simian attacks as also to help us to climb up rocky terrain strewn with small and large uneven boulders and cross small streams of water gushing along. We witnessed many waterfalls cascading from great heights intensified and propelled by the prodigious rainfall. Fascinating and picturesque scenery greeted us all around - sheer rock faces looming high, verdant lush forestry on either side. Intermittent rainfall coupled with panoramic & bewitching views added to our intoxication. Galvanized we continued on with a new surge of energy and determination. A sense of jubilation enveloped us and we felt the presence of omnipotent omnipresent and omniscient Narasimha all around us pervading into our very beings and souls. The feeling is indescribable and we rapturously transcended to sublime levels. In the midst of this a small faux paux, a minor mishap. I tripped while crossing a small stream, a momentary act of carelessness and I lost balance and fell down sideways onto a rocky face. A bewildering fall but amazingly I escaped unharmed devoid of any lacerations or contusions or broken bones. A small miracle. I got up as if nothing had occurred and undeterred continued the indefatigable march towards our destination. On the way we crossed the Krodha Narasimhar or Varaha Narasimhar. It was 2.00 pm and the temple was closed for the afternoon.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">We crossed a couple of narrow steel bridges and during the final lap ascend around 1000 steps, and reached the dizzying pinnacle from where we could view the Jwala Narasimhar Temple, the Ugra Sthambam and the Garudhathiri hill peaks shaped like a garuda or brahminy kite with its head at the centre and wide expansive wing spans on either side.It was indeed a stunning spectacle, an awe inspiring sight. We had to cross a narrow rocky ledge behind a magnificent waterfall to reach the sanctum of Jwala Narasimhar. Some of us could lean out and get completely drenched in the falls while others cupped their hands to drink the heavenly nectar - exhilarating teertham or holy water from the Narasimhas. We reach Jwala Narasimhar sanctum. Here is the Jwala or fiery form of Narasimhar which the Lord assumed to kill Hiranyakashipu. The main temple is a rock cut cave temple. In the sanctum there are three statues. The main deity is Narasimha who has eight hands and holds Hiranyakashipu on his lap. One of the left hands holds the demon's legs while another pair of hands pierce into the stomach to extract Hiranyakashipus intestines. The upper two hands hold a chakra and a conch. The temple is very small so there is a bit of jostling for space. On our exit we are offered panakam or jaggery water by tribals. Photo credits: Satheesh Kumar Rajamanickam.</span><br />

These can be covered by foot or by Jeep. Since the walking track is through dense jungle and steep & precipitous and time consuming, we decided to hire a jeep instead. An old battered willy's jeep with four wheel drive probably a wreck discarded from World War II and subsequently retrofitted presented itself. We packed ourselves into this contraption and proceeded towards our first mission - the Pavana Narasimha Temple. The first five kms was on good tarred road. Then we had to go off road and travel through the jungle for 14 Kms - a narrow undulating kuccha path. The path had disintegrated due to recent heavy rains leaving huge craters on slushy ground and the ride was extremely bumpy. It required great driving skills on part of the driver to keep this medieval beast in control. We crossed large tracts of bamboo forests en route - do not know if this is part of the natural vegetation of the Nallamala forest or subsequently planted by local tribes. Took us approximately an hour to reach our destination - the Pavana Narasimhar temple located on the banks of the river Pavana. This is the most peaceful form of all the Nava Narasimhars. The Lord liberates all devotees from all sins from past and present lives. Sage Bharadwaja rid himself of Brahma Hati dosham here. By trek this place is some seven kms from Upper Ahobilam Temple and you can witness some breathtaking sights in the Nallamala forest during the trek.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">After praying at Pavana Narasimhar shrine we climbed up a rocky incline to the sanctum of Goddess Chenchulakshmi: a low roof cave temple where you need to bend considerably low to enter. She is considered as Mahalakshmi reincarnated as a tribal woman do that she could marry the Lord in the Narasimha avatar.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Next we retraced the route back to Lower Ahobilam and went off road again to visit the Bhargava Narasimhar Temple.There is a small lily pond at the base of the temple known as Bhargava Teertham. The temple is atop a small hill and is reached after a short trek and clambering up around 150 steps. Bhargava Rama performed his penance here and hence this temple gets its name. The shrine is only 2 kms from Lower Ahobilam and hence can be easily approached by walk.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The temple surrounded by three prakarams in the Lower Ahobilam is dedicated to Prahlada Varadar. With Vijayanagar style noticeable in the structure, there are a number of mandapas outside the temple. A shrine dedicated to Sri Venkateswara exists to the south west of this Narasimha temple and lends view to the episode that Lord Venkateswara obtained the blessings of Narasimha just before his marriage with Padmavathi. The Mukha Mandapam there, is now used as the Kalyana Mandapam of Narasimha Swamy. With Lakshminarasimha as the presiding Deity, the main temple consists of a sanctum, Mukhamandapam and Rangamandapam with numerous pillars intricately carved and carrying rich sculptures. There are also three smaller shrines for Lakshmi, Andal and Azhwars. In the sanctum are also kept the Utsava idols of Prahlada Varadar, Pavana Narasimhar and the processional idols of Jwala Narasimha endowed with ten hands and with his consorts Sridevi and Bhudevi flanking him. A small idol of the first Jeeyar, Sri Adivan Satakopa Swami is also kept in the sanctum. Both at Upper and Lower Ahobilam, one can see on the pillars sculptures of Lord Narasimhar wooing His consort Chenchulakshmi. The Lord chasing Hiranyakasipu in one pillar and bursting forth from another pillar to tear him are very realistic.There is a tall Jayasthambham erected in the spacious ground outside the temple walls to mark the victory of Krishnadeva Raya. The Kakatiya Kings especially Prathapa Rudra has also contributed towards additional structures and maintenance of this Ahobilam complex.</span><br />

This much awaited trip had been planned months in advance. Ahobilam is the land of the Nava Narasimhas nestling in the Eastern Ghats and located in Kurnool District approx.360 Km north (with a slightly westerly slant) of Chennai. Around 9.30 am we stopped over by the road side beneath the canopy of a sprawling tree. The ground was a bit slushy and slippery due to light incessant overnight rain. We consumed delicious idlis/molakapadi/coconut chutney/parathas & tomato thokku. Having satiated our hunger we continued our journey on NH5. The rest of the drive was largely uneventful and the weather was conducive - cool with slightly overcast sky. The driver was a pleasant but uninteresting guy, his driving a wee bit extra cautious. He was not a conversationalist and he had a tendency to slouch over the steering wheel at times. But overall he was in control and his eyes focused on the road and maintained a speed limit of between 80-100 Kmph. After a brief stop over for some coffee & a washroom break at one of petrol filling stations we motored on. We finally reached Lower Ahobilam around 3.30 afternoon. Due to heavy rush of pilgrims rooms were not available in the temple guest house. Rajasekhar & Satheesh went scouting for rooms elsewhere and were successful in locating two good rooms in a private guest house. Rooms were large and clean with attached bathrooms - and sufficient beds,pillows and bed linen to house 4 persons per room. Accordingly we segregated - ladies and kids were herded into one room and men into in the other. The owners are primarily caterers and live in the ground floor portion. They are contracted by the temple to cook massive amounts of food to be offered to pilgrims. They had kept ready a huge multiple tiered tiffin carrier similar to what film shooting crews used to carry in times of yore. We were famished and wolfed down the generous quantity of food served to us on paku plates. The food was so tasty - rice sambar, rasam, poduthooval, poriyal & butter milk. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">We visited the following three temples at Lower Ahobilam in the evening: Chatravata, Yogananda & Prahlada Varadar.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>Chatravatha Narasimha Swamy</b>: The deity is installed under a peepul tree and surrounded by thorny bushes. The temple was undergoing thirupani or renovation and was temporarily closed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>Yogananda Narasimhar:</b> The legend is that after killing Hiranyakashipu the Lord taught Prahlada several yogic postures and hence the deity gets this name. Another special feature of this temple is the in the Navagraha sanctum there are also idols of Nava Narasimhars installed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>Prahlada Varadar Temple:</b> We also visited this temple in the late evening. But more about this in the next post.</span><br />

One of the oldest structural temples of South India, this was built during 700-728 AD during the reign of Pallava King Narasimhavarman II. The main temple faces east so that the suns rays shine directly on the main shrine housing thShiva Linga (Dharalinga). There is also a smaller shrine devoted to Lord Shiva (Kshatriyasimheswara). There are two pyramidal shikaras or pagodas atop these shrines. Between the two shrines is a small shrine devoted to a reclining Vishnu. The Shore Temple is a magnificently sculpted monument which proudly stands erect even after so many centuries enduring the ravages of time. There has been some erosion and certain amount of damage as a result of the 2004 tsunami. The Dharalinga is in Rajasimha style carved out of black basalt stone. It has sixteen faces with slight fluting to create a crown at the top. The 6 ft high linga is damaged at the top. Another distinctive feature is a Somaskanda panel of the inner walls facing Kshatriyasimheswara temple.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Kudos to ASI for the meticulous upkeep and maintenance of the shore temple campus which has been designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The two panoramic photos at the end are testimony to this. </span><br />

This boulder weighing 250 tons and measuring 6m x 5m has been standing at the same spot for over 1200 years defying all laws of gravity.Sir Isaac Newton would certainly have been flummoxed & confounded. Attempts were made by Pallava King Narasimhavarman to move the rock but did not succeed. In 1908 Arthur Havelock the then governor of the city used seven elephants to pull the rock to safety but he too failed. It is said the Tamil Emperor Raja Raja Chozhan was highly inspired by this magnificent boulder.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This rock is surrounded by a well manicured spacious green lawn maintained meticulously by Archaelogical Society of India. It was past mid day and the sun was blazing and this took its toll on our energy levels.We took a brief respite on one of rocks to rejuvenate and regain some of the energy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This 'Butterball' threw some amazing shadows and provided an appropriate back ground for some thrilling moments and an opportunity for amazing trick photography. Full credit to nephew Chandrasekhar to clicking all the marvelous photos posted here.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Also known as The Descent of the Ganges. There are two legends associated with this relief which was created to celebrate the victory of Narasimhavarman I over Pulakesan II. This great victory also earned the king the epithet "Mamallan' or great warrior.The architectural creations at Mamallapuram adopted stone as the medium for sculpting in situ rock faces. The relief is created with great skill and imagination on two large boulders of pink granite in the open air. The natural cleft, a very large perpendicular fissure, is adroitly sculpted between the boulders and forms an integral part of the mythical narratives carved on the entire rock face. A water tank was once located at the top of the rock denoting the Ganges river. It cascaded over the cleft and the relief to give an impression that the water was descending from Shiva's head.The sculptures carved in the natural fissure that divides the cliff not only depicts the cosmic event of Ganga descending to earth, but also depicts scores of gods, goddesses and mythical figures of Kinnaras, Gandharvas, Apsaras, Ganas & Nagas as also many wild and domestic animals all admiringly watching the great cosmic event.<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">As per one legend the waters of the Ganga descended to earth due to penance of Bhagiratha. You can see an skinny ascetic doing penance. As per another legend the ascetic is none other than Arjuna doing austere tapasya to Lord Siva in order to receive Shiva's most powerful weapon the Pasupatastra.</span></div>

This monument is in fact a series of bas reliefs of the Pallava period depicting Lord Krishna lifting the mount Govardhana. A structural mandapam has been added in the front during the 16th Century AD. The primary scene depicts Krishna lifting the mountain to protect the cowherds and gopikas from the thunderstorm created by Indra.The Gopika is holding a slew of pots & a bundle of fodder, the wood cutter carrying an axe, a cow being milked and all animals displaying a sense of calmness quite oblivious of the storm around them. Krishna ensures that life around is unaffected and goes on as normal. Adjacent to the Krishna Mandapam there is an unfinished rock cut temple with a Garbha Graha but without idols or any form of sculpture or bas reliefs. We took the opportunity of clicking some selfies here. Yours truly can be seen in of the pictures emulating Lord Krishna lifting up the Govardhana :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>The Lighthouse:</b>The first light was commissioned in 1887. The lighthouse erected as a circular masonry tower made of natural stone became fully functional in 1904. India's oldest lighthouse built around 640 AD by Mahendra Pallava stands next to this modern structure. It is a protected monument and is maintained by the Archaelogical Survey of India.</span><br />

From Central Station lugged our strollers across towards the underground Chennai Metro, bought tickets and boarded the train towards Meenambakkam. This is my maiden ride in Chennai Metro and the journey was exhilarating. Reminded me of Singapore Metro in which I had traveled extensively in 2018. Crossed familiar stations like Government Estate,LIC, Thousand lights, Nandanam, Saidapet,Guindy, St.Thomas Mount & Nanganallur Rd before alighting at Meenambakam. The ride was completed in 30 minutes and cost me Rs.50/-At Meenambakam booked an Uber ride and took the cab to Keelkattalai where my nephew lives in a nice compact, convenient and pleasingly furnished house. We started the day with two cups of invigorating piping hot decoction coffee. Then a refreshing bath followed by early lunch. Next we proceeded to Mahabalipuram accompanied by my nephews family in his newly acquired Maruti Suzuki Ertiga - a very roomy, luxurious and comfortable MUV with air conditioning at both front and rear. There were traffic snarls for while until we hit the ECR road after which it was a smooth uninterrupted drive upto Mahabalipuram or Mamallapuram an ancient port town 58 kms from Chennai on the Coromandel Coast of the Bay of Bengal. This ancient town dates back to the 7th Century AD when it was founded by Pallava King Narasimhavarman I. It is known for its intricately carved cave temples, sculptures & brilliant bas reliefs. We landed at this historical location immediately after the conclusion of an important summit held here between Indian & Chinese Heads of State. The town was amazingly clean and we enjoyed bright sunshine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">The first group of monuments we visited was the Pancha Rathas or Pandava Rathas (Ratha means Chariot) - a fine example of monolithic rock cut architecture. The five ratha styled temples are named Dharmaraja Ratha, Arjuna Ratha, Bhima Ratha, Nakula-Sahadeva Ratha & Draupadi Ratha. There are also life size sculptures of an elephant & a lion and a bull (Nandi).The Europeans referred to this as the seven pagodas based on the seven pinnacles atop the temples.This entire complex has been declared a World Heritage Site. Entrance fee per person is Rs.35.00</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Revisiting these monuments after a gap of several decades. A memorable visit capped by some excellent pictures largely due a beast of a camera: Redme K20 Pro and a brand new selfie stick.</span><br />

This is an ASI protected and maintained monument. A sprawling expansive campus and neatly manicured lawn greets visitors on arrival. Entry tickets for Indian Nationals is Rs.30/person. The grandeur and magnificence of the monument stuns you as you enter through the entrance mandapam of the temple.<br />
Once under the rule of Cholas, Somnathpur was captured by the Hoysala King Vishnuvardhana in AD 1117.Later it was ruled by the Vijayanagara kings and the Wodeyars of Mysore and became one of the foremost agrahara townships during the rule of Narasimha III. An inscription dated 1268 records that Somanatha Dandanayaka, an illustrious Hoysala General established an agrahara in Somnathpur and consecrated the Kesava Temple. The architecture and sculptures are most ornate and a perfect example of Hoysala architecture.The East facing temple has three garbha grihas or sanctums housing idols of Chennakesava, Janardana & Venugopala. The sanctums are securely locked and pujas or offerings are not permitted.<br />
The exquisitely carved sculptures inside the sanctums, on the inner & outer walls and the intricately carved ceilings & pillars fill you with awe. How assiduously and arduously the artisan must have worked to accomplish such breathtaking sculptures.We also found some calligraphy on stone but were unable to decipher the script and unravel the underlying secrets.The colonnaded pavilions surrounding the temple raised visions of the ancient coliseums of Rome - infact the pavilions actually housed innumerable sub sanctums for worship.Contemporary stone sculptures are no match for the brilliance of this antiquarian art.You simply stand there transfixed in admiration. I am dumbfounded and unable to find the right adjectives to describe. Pictures speak more loftily than words.<br />
It was also sad to see degradation and weathering of the sandstone ravaged due to changing climatic conditions over the centuries. Vandals have contributed their share by perpetrating needless damage (decapitation of several human and animal sculptures) and vulgar calligraphy.<br />

Ramakrishnanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06391020678534194379noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939421465389928967.post-70217539473439955862019-02-20T07:22:00.001-08:002019-02-20T07:33:04.021-08:00Talakkadu<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">From Dhondenling we retraced to the Kollegal road and stopped briefly under the shade of a sprawling tree for a light snack of idli/chutney and comfortably warm decoction coffee. The distance of 65 Kms was covered in roughly in one & a half hours and we drove through Sargur & Sathyagala crossed the Wesley bridge across the Cauvery - a panoramic view of the rocky river bed, clusters of green vegetation with tiny streams of water flowing languidly downstream. We reached Talakadu around 2.30 post noon and we were ferociously hungry and wolfed down the parothas and aloo mutter which we had packed and brought along.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Talakadu is a desert like ghost town which is largely submerged under sand. Once this town was flourishing and had over 30 temples but the curse of Taladu has reduced this place to a sleepy town with only five temples visible and worshiped - Paataleswara,Maruleswara,Arkeswara, Vaidyanatheswara and Mallikarjuna all shiva lingas believed to represent the five faces of Shiva. Apart from this there is also a Vishnu Temple where the presiding deity is Keerthi Narayana. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">For more information related to history & legends including the curse of Talakadu you can log onto: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talakadu.</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The most significant,largest,most intact and ornate of the group of temples here is the Vaidyanatheswara Temple which represents the finest architecture of the Ganga-Chola-Hoysala periods.The bas reliefs on the outer walls of the temple are an incredible feast for the eyes. Possibly built and consecrated originally during the 10th Century and subsequent improvements & expansion carried out in the 14th Century</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></span><b style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">The Curse of Talakadu:</b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> A version of the story goes that in 1610 Srirangaraya,a chieftain of the Vijayanagara kingdom passed away after a long illness in Talakadu.The custody of the Temple Jewels passed on to his wife Alamelamma, The Maharaja of Musuru at that time Raja Wodeyar sent his army to Talakadu to retrieve the jewels from the widow.Alamellamma gathered the jewels into the folds of her sari and utterred a curse before plunging to her death into the Cauvery to avoid capture.The curse ran "Talakadu Maralagali,Malangi maduvagali,Mysuru doraige makaalilladhe" translated this means " May Talakadu be submerged in sand,may Malangi become a whirlpool,and may the king of Mysuru remain childless".</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The amazing coincidence is that Talakadu has been submerged in metres of sand and the descendents of the Mysore Kings have never sired a biological child and to this day have been adopting the practice of adopting a legal heir.</span><br />

The Dimbum ghat was challenging climb with 27 sharp hair pin bends coming one after the other in quick succession. Heavy vehicles (trucks & trailers) hurtling downhill made the hill climb even more onerous but I was pleased that my driving instincts and reflexes stood me well and I could successfully overcome this rigorous challenge.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The 30 Km drive from Dhimbum to Dhondenling took us through thick bamboo forests and eucalyptus plantations interspersed intermittently with areca nut,banana & maize.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Established in 1974 on 3000 acres of land at Oderpalaya in Kollegal Taluk the settlement now has 22 villages or refugee camps each housing around 22-25 families. Agriculture is the mainstay of the settlement and they cultivate maize,rice,ragi etc To augment their income in winter they resort to knitting and selling of sweaters. Dhondenling has its own school,a hospital and a Tibetan Medical and Astro Institute.The people appear healthy and happy and we saw several young couples moving around in scooters.The most endearing and attractive feature of this settlement are the richly painted monasteries.People appear simple,friendly & leading peaceful lives.<span style="text-align: center;">`</span></span><br />

Overnight Boise had experienced its first snowfall of the season. The snow had arrived unannounced and the entire landscape was was swathed in white. A magnificent & mesmerizing view outside with snow flakes continuing to fall. This intoxicating view was a bonanza for us, an unexpected bonus as snowfall normally occurs in Boise only around end December or January.We considered ourselv</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">es fortuitous.Our unpretentious grandkids were quick to pounce on the opportunity to build a snowman complete with hat scarf carrot & buttons - a heart warming sight.<br />I scurried around agog with excitement from window to window like a man possessed - entranced, enraptured & enthralled clicking away and capturing stunning & staggering pictures.<br />Later in the morning we decided to drive through down town and up the Bogus basin - a ski resort located at an elevation of 5000 ft.The drive was captivating - The snow spattered road a bit treacherous with a mix of ice snow and water.The car had a tendency to skid & slide but with the adroit driving skills of the calm and composed Rohit (son in law) negotiated the gradients and the serpentine climb without fear or trepidation.<br />The views outside were indeed tantalizing - the hills the dales and valleys were all ubiquitously covered in snow. Young kids were attempting to cascade down small slopes on sleds while more audacious adults ascended to greater heights with skis on their shoulders.<br />We saw confounded squirrels scampering around.The snowfall had caught these animals unawares too - it was too early to hibernate. We encountered fog enroute which reduced visibility. The car occassionally juddered and careened diagonally across the road but Rohit was driving with alacrity and his control was astute.<br />The atmosphere was suffused, surreal & tranquil.We felt an extraordinary exuberance hitherto unknown. Is this utopia ?</span><br />

We had no prior hotel booking and therefore scoured around a bit in the vicinity of the Sri Krishna Temple before settling for Hotel Ocean Pearl. Rooms were nice & cosy and we got a good discount after a vigorous bargain with a good natured and amiable Bihari lad at the front office. We were weary after almost a full days road travel and we simply sunk into the comfortable cushiony beds for some well entitled rest. After a revitalizing shower and a change of attire we went for dinner to the Coral Multi cuisine fine dine restaurant. The menu card had a wide selection of North Indian, Mughlai & Continental dishes to choose from. Some of us had Penne Pasta in Pesto Sauce, Vegetable Au Gratin, Baby Corn Golden fry amongst other dishes. We enjoyed a pleasant and enjoyable evening, good service & great ambiance</span>. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Thousands of devotees throng the Krishna temple all round the year to catch a glimpse of Lord Krishna. The unique feature of this temple is that the Lord is worshiped only through an exquisitely carved and silver plated window with nine holes called the Navagraha Khidiki</span>. </span></span><br />

Venkata Ramana Temple located in Mulki is a 12th century temple
dedicated to Sri Venkateswara. Mulki is
situated on the banks of River Shambavi on NH 17 between Mangalore &
Udupi. Sri Venkataramana, Bindu Madhava, Lord Vittala and Ugra
Narasimha are worshiped in this temple. The presiding Lord of this Temple is popularly known as <b>Volalanke Ugra Narasimha.</b> The Sthala Purana says that Lord Hanuman
on his way back carrying the Sanjeevani mountain of herbs mistook this beautiful
locality for Sri Lanka and started descending. But soon he realised that
this is not Lanka and therefore at once ascended and resumed his journey
calling this as Volalanke or fake Lanka<b>.</b>The word Mulki is actually derived from<b> Moolikapura</b>.
Moolika – means medicinal herbs. People say that a few herbs had fallen here in Mulki from
the mountain of herbs that Hanuman was carrying and hence the herbs and
medicinal plants grew here. The priests at Mulki informed us that food was ready and it was customary of all devotees to eat there. As we were short of time we expressed our apologies and proceeded on our teertha yatra.</span><br />

We finally reached Mangalore around 3.00 pm. We had some basic lunch comprising of Curd Rice and Pickles. From this point our friends carried on to Bajpe Airport to catch their flight to Bangalore scheduled to depart at 7.00 pm. Meanwhile we checked into the retiring room at Mangalore Central. Our train to Coimbatore which was scheduled to depart at 10 pm was reported late by two hours and we finally departed well past mid-night at 12.30 hours.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This brought the curtains down to an incredible trip to important temples of religious importance in South Kanara, Chickmagalur, North Kanara & Udupi districts of Karnataka. The four of us had some awesome darshans, drove through spectacular reserve forests, viewed breathtaking scenery enroute, clicked countless pictures including some memorable selfies and enjoyed some great camaraderie, stimulating conversation and amazing moments together. The high point of the trip was of course the visit and overnight stay at Shringeri and meeting with the illustrious Acharyas.</span><br />

We checked out of our rooms at Sringeri and left for Kollur via the scenic Agumbe ghats covering the distance of 110 kms in approximately 2 hours.We reached Kollur by 12.00 noon and immediately proceeded for darshan. The temple inner prakaram reminded me of Guruvayur Temple in Kerala. There was already a long queue of devotees in the general darshan. We bought Rs.100/- special darshan tickets which helped us cut short the waiting period.The entrance into the sanctum sanctorum was quite narrow and three queues of devotees were simultaneously allowed to enter - free queue, the Rs.100/- queue & the Rs.500/- queue. This resulted in a bit of elbowing and jostling near the entrance. Once inside things were controlled again. We had a wonderful darsan of Goddess Mookambigai.<br />
This famous Mookambika Temple is situated on the banks of the never drying river
Sauparnika.The gold plated vimanam and
copper roofs attracts thousands of devotees and is considered one of the most important places
of pilgrimage attracting pilgrims from all over India.<br />
The Goddess Mookambika is in the form of Jyotir-Linga incorporating both
Shiva and Shakthi. The Panchaloha image (five element mixed metal) of
the Goddess on Shree Chakra is believed to have been consecrated by Adi Shankaracharya during his visit to this place. There is also an exquisite
sculpture of Panchamukha Ganesha.<br />
After darshan we had lunch at the Mahalakshmi vegetarian restaurant - exquisite aloo and gobi paranthas along with refreshing thirst quenching lassis & milk shakes. Our appetite fully satiated and thirst thoroughly quenched we clambered back into our Etios sedan for our drive to Murudeswara.<br />

Currently there are 9 pickup up points and progressively over the next few weeks increase the number of cycles deployed to 2000 and pickup points to about 80.<br />
OFO (pronounced oh-foh) is a Beijing based <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle-sharing_system" title="Bicycle-sharing system">bicycle sharing</a> company founded in 2014. It operates over 10 million yellow-colored
bicycles in 250 cities and 20 countries, as of 2017. The dock-less OFO system uses a smartphone app to unlock bicycles, charging an hourly rate
for use. <br />
To start with users require to download the OFO App and then pay Rs.99/- by debit/credit card or PayTM. Next with using blue tooth scan QR code to unlock. After use he returns the cycle to one of the pickup points and lock. The duration is automatically recorded and applicable charges debited. The cycles have inbuilt GPS and hence can be tracked. As part of the initial experiment the cycles can be used only in R.S.Puram area.<br />
Great initiative indeed and kudos to Coimbatore Corporation. The only point of concern here is that these cycles were imported from Beijing thus going completely against the principle and spirit of Prime Minister Modis "Make in India" initiative. India being one of the largest manufacturers and exporters of cycles why were these cycles not sourced from a reputed Indian manufacturer ?<br />

<b>15 February 2018:</b> From Horanadu we departed for Shringeri and reached our destination around 2.45 noon. We were greeted by the colossal & colorful multi tiered Rajagopuram through which we entered the premises of the Sringeri Peedham or Mutt. It is in Sringeri in South India that Adi Sankara established the first of the four Amnaya Peedams or Throne of the Vedas around 1200 years ago. The other three Mutts were established in Puri (East), Dwarka (West) & Badrinath (North). </div>

He is credited with unifying and establishing the main currents of thought in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinduism" title="Hinduism">Hinduism</a>.<br />
He was searching for a convenient and holy place where he could
establish an institution to spread the truths of Advaita Vedanta. When he came to Sringeri, he saw an unusual sight on the banks of
the Tunga. A cobra was seen spreading out its hood over a frog in labour
pains, to give it shadow from the scorching mid-day sun. Struck with
the sanctity of the place, which could infuse love between natural
adversaries, the Acharya (Religious Teacher) chose this very location to establish His first
Mutt.<br />

Adi Sankara appointed his prime disciple, Sri Sureshwaracharya as the
first Acharya of the Peetham. Since then, the Peetham has been blessed
with an unbroken Guru Parampara, a garland of spiritual masters and
Jivanmuktas representing Sri Adi Shankaracharya. The succeeding Acharyas
have led a life of such austere penance that it has led disciples to
adore in them the radiance of Sri Adi Shankara Himself.<br />
The present Acharya or religious head of this Peetham is Jagadguru Sri Bharathi Teertha Swamy and he is the 36th successive religious head in an unbroken line of acharyas. Jagadguru is an erudite scholar, well versed in Upanishads,Vedas & Sanskrit,is fluent in several languages including English and is highly philanthropic & munificent. He has also ordained his successor in waiting - the young and learned Sri Vidushekara Bharathi.<br />
Our accommodation is inside the premises of the Peedham - rooms are basic with sparse furniture & most appropriate for pilgrims & devotees visiting here to meet the acharyas.We were informed that the Acharyas would be giving audience to devotees at 6.00 pm in a special auditorium in the Narasimha Vana. Accordingly we got ready, dressed appropriately,grabbed a quick cuppa outside, ambled back and walked leisurely viewing and soaking in the magnificence of Sringeri - The Saradambal Temple & The Vidya Sankara Temple.<br />
As you enter cross the bridge and enter Narasimha Vana you are filled with a sense tranquility & serenity and you heart is filled with a sense of joy and jubilance. The Vana or forest is flush with greenery - coconut palms, areca plantations, banana plantations & a wide array of beautiful plants and shrubs. We proceed to the expansive auditorium and are seated cross legged on the floor and patiently and reverently await arrival of the acharyas. At 6.00 pm sharp they arrive - both the Jagadguru and his successor in waiting. We stand up respectfully and offer our pranams to them.The queue moves along and the acharyas take time to talk to each and every devotee. Devotees offer him fruits,coconuts & flowers as is customary.The atmosphere is relaxed and your heart is filled with a sense of calm and peace. We were also fortunate to view the biggest Veena in the world on display in the auditorium - The Maha Sarvabhuma Veena.<br />
We returned to the auditorium once again in the night to watch Chandramouleeswara Puja - a puja that is done by Jagadguru himself every night (Puja = worship of the God).The ritual lasts around one hour and concludes with Depparathanai.(an offering of fire lamps to the God). It was an awesome experience.<br />
We left Sringeri next morning around 9.30 am after a satisfying and inspiring overnight stay. For more information on Sringeri please log onto: http://www.sringeri.net/<br />
