Very recently I went Kumbakonam city and Tanjavore ,vaideswaran koil. In Tanjavore on 5-02-2020 the Kumbabishekam was performed. I had been there after 13 days. Within 48 days if you visit the temble of kumbabishekam you can be blessed with fruits of kumbabishekam . It is called as PERIYA koil. Yes the lingam is very big and nandi also . Iwas mesmerised by the height lingam I had a very happy Dharshan.
Gangai Konda Cholapuram
Along with my brothers ,we started our journey towards Kumbakonam. Our first halt was Gangai Konda Cholapuram. This place is on the way to Trichy from Chennai. Near Jayam kondan. After Rajendra Cholan won the battle in north India he built this temple. The exact replica of Tanjavore temple. As we reached this place after 12 Noon ,the temple was closed but we saw the outside . The wonderful way the temple was built. The lord name also Bragadeeswarar the same name as Tanjavore God's name. A very big temple
Thiruvaiyaru
We left this temple and our next halt was Thiruvaiyaru. This is the place where Saint Thiagaraja lived and composed so many Kirtanas and his Samathi is there and on Bhagula Panjami day all carntic music vidwans come and render kirtanas of Saint Thiagaraja. Incidentaly in this place my brother's wife music collage is there. She was very much excited. We also sang song there. We had a very good lunch just like home preparation in a hotel which is there for past 60 years. Afterwards we proceeded to Tanjore@ Tanjavure
TANJAVORE
We reached Tanjavore Periakoil at 4 PM. Recently the temple had Kumbabishekam. We thought as already 10 days over the crowd may not there, but to our surprise near about 500 people were standing in the queue and the move ment was one per minute and we calculated it will take atleast 4 hours to have dharshan of GOD. There was no VIP /Special Dharshan.
At that as God's gift the driver we hired said I will go and find out any Dharshan of special catogiri there. He managed to find out and with the GRACE of GOD we were able to bypass the crowd and in a matter of half an hour we were in inner temple and had a Dharshan of SIVA BRIGADEESWARAR. Such abig sivalingam After heartful Dharshanam we left for Kumbakonam,
