[www.keralites.net] Temple near Tanjore

 

A Temple near Tanjore - Tamilnadu

So that was the Kodanda Rama temple of Punnainallur. What a haven of peace! A nice taste of Tanjore!

Next, I go across to the Mariamman temple, a hive of activity. After offering worship there, we drive back to town. The cab driver offers to take us to another Mariamman temple, which, he says, is the older mariamman temple.

Across the field, one sees a temple, with a Siva Linga as Gopuram… Thats the older Mariamman temple…

Punnainallur is well kn0wn for its Mariamman temple. That temple was built by the Maratha King of Tanjore, some 300 plus years ago. Not so well known is the Rama temple that is right behind the Mariamman temple…

We drive past the Mariamman temple… This being the month of Avani, and the day being Friday, hordes of pilgrims have come to Mariamman temple. Driving around the temple we take a narrow road, and come upon the temple of Kodanda Rama.

The specialty of this temple are the Moola (Main) idols. They are all made of Salagrama sila.
