11 Cholanadu Divya Desams in and around Thirunangur near Seerkazhi. Deities from each of the Thirunangur temples go out on a street procession on Garuda Vahanam and come together at Mani Mada Koil in Thai maasam (mid January) Sthalapuranam Angered at not being invited for the Yaagam conducted by Parvathi’s father Dakshan , Lord Shiva performed the Rudra Thaandavam (dance) in a place called Ubaya Cauvery (between Cauvery in the South and Mani River in the North) , a few kms South East of Seerkazhi . So aggressive was his performance that for every hair that fell down on the ground, a new form of Lord Shiva emerged. And very quickly 11 forms of Lord Shiva were each performing the Rudra Thaandavam. Sensing a possible damage to the world as a result of Lord Shiva’s fury , Lord Vishnu appeared here before Shiva as Paramapatha Naathan . Softened by the presence of Lord Vishnu , Rudra requested Vishnu appear in just as many forms . Lord Vishnu is said to have acceded to this request and provi...

From Thondanur we travelled to Melkote. Ramanuja stayed here for 12years during his exile from Srirangam and consecrated the temple laying down detailed processes for poojas Selva Pillai Sampath Kumaran’s Vaira Mudi Utsavam in Panguni is a must see at this temple. ThiruNarayanapuram is referred to as ‘Dakshina Badri’ Located about 35kms North East of Srirangapatna on the banks of the Cauvery in the Pandavapura Taluk-Mandya District of Karnataka at the foot of the Yadava Giri is one of the most sacred and historical Vaishnavite temples – the Thiru Narayana Perumal Koil in ThiruNarayanapuram (now Melkote), one that dates back to the Kretha Yugam.

Only one day in the year, both Moolavar and Utsavar deities are seen tog...
