Recently took the trip down south and touched Then Kasi, close to coutrallam falls.The temple here dedicated to Lord Shiva ,is a huge complex set to have constructed admist champak grove.There is an old tree which several hundred years old tucked away in a corner.The other dieties have a huge temple carved out for them inside the sanctum.It takes quite a bit of walking to cover these temples inside.
This temple to many is "Kasi of the South"//Then Kasi as the name goes.The preist told us that many who cannot travel all the way to the north perform their rituals here.
A wonderful experience is to stand below the huge gopuram and feel the swift air currents that ciculate right below.One can see the women/men folks walking into this area and clutching on to their saree/dhoti.Just step out and your breeze around is normal.Am amazing feat---a construction marvel!
The famous water falls courtallam is only 5km away.A sure cool place for a good body massage by professionals and all the oil washed away by the gushing waters.Private Reply to Raja Ram (new win) |
