India - Day 10 & Day 11 - Mahabalipuram

On day 10 we shopped in Chennai. I bought a few jippa's which were very colourful. The things we cheap and reasonable. On day 11, we went to Mahabalipuram which is a tourist site. It was very nice. They had very nice sculptures which were very detailed. Awesome!!!!!!

India - Day 9 - Rameshwaram

On day 9, we went to Rameshwaram. There we had a bath in 22 wells. It is said that all the 22 wells have different tastes. Its true!!! I tasted water from every well. Some are sweet and some are sour. There are 108 lingams in Rameshwaram and they are all different. Some are big some are small and some have square bases. There is also a temple where a special Lingam is kept. It is believed that Seetha built this Lingam out of sand to thank Lord Siva after Rama saved her from Ravana, the evil king. The bridge that Rama built in Danushkodi is broken but still there. After that, we took a train ride all the way to Chennai. It was really fun!!!

India - Day 8 - Avudaiyar

Hai, after Katpagavinaiyagar we went to Avudaiyar. In that temple, the Lingam has no head only the base to represent the Lord 's formless appearance. This temple has 32 specialities. The pillars make music and wherever you stand there will always be a shadow no matter how dark and all the 1008 temples in India are painted on the ceiling. This temple is famous because this is where Saint Manikavasagar sang Sivapuranam. Awesome right!!

India - Day 8 - Pillaiyar Patti

On day 8, we went to Pillaiyar Patti which is famous for Katpagavinayagar. That statue of Ganesha that has only 2 hands is one of a kind. All the other Pillaiyar statue's have four hands. There is another Katpagavinayagar which is situated in Afghanistan. The statue is very big and is gold in colour. We all sang Agaval there together. It was fun.

India - Day 7 - Madurai Meenakshi

Here, the temple is gigantic . I know I have said that a lot of times but this temple is BIG. This amman is famous for its nose ring which is made of a real diamond. It glows brightly at night. Saint Arunagirinathar became a bird in Thiruvannamalai and flew all the way to Madurai and stood on the Amman statue's hand. We saw it there. It is so cooool!!!!

India - Samayapuram Mariamman

Hey, after Palani we went to Samayapuram Mariamman Temple. There we met Amu. She is a small girl at the age of 11. She brought us around the temple. We first me met her when she helped my mother stand up. Then my dad offered her money and believe it or not she did not accept. After the tour we offered again and finally she accepted. Cool right!!!!!

India - Day 7 - Palani

Hello, in day 7 we went to Palanivel Murugan temple. We had to climb 689 steps to get there. I know!!!!! Its really tiring. The Murugan statue there was good looking too!!!! This is a pic with me and my family. Bye for now.

India - Day 6 - Sri Rangam

Haiiii, after Sri Jampukeswarar, we went to Sri Rangam which is a very big Vishnu temple. There is a sleeping Vishnu statue there which is very beautiful. Unfortunately, it was extremely crowded so we could not enjoy the beauty of Vishnu for long. Sad :( . But fun!!!!

India - Day 6 - Sri Jampukeswarar Temple

Next we went to the Jampukeswarar temple. This temple is also 1 of the pancha pootham. It is the element of water. They say that the temple is flooded during the rainy season because the Kaveeri River runs under it. There are a few holes around the lingam and water flows through these holes and flood the Lingam. The Lingam is submerged underwater so it represents the element of water.
