FOUR SIDES OF TOWER IS ADORNED WITH SEVERAL HUNDRED THOUSANDS OF FIGURINES, TELLING STORIES FROM LEGENDS, MYTH AND HINDU SCRIPTURES.

 

 

An ancient temple at the sea coast of Tiruchendur, in the eastern coast of south India.

 

This one annual pilgrimage we never miss. A massive and sprawling structure built with granite several centuries ago and pounded continuously by strong waves is a favorite pilgrimage place for all those believe in HIndu faith. For us visiting this place is like home coming, closer to our birth place and frequented during childhood days has special attachment with this Holy place.

 

Photography inside the temple is prohibited.

 

 

There are several hundred thousand statutues and figurines and built in the four sided of the temple tower.
