Shri Rangam Visit

After had a good prayer in Velankanni and Nagoor, myfamily and myself dicided to visit the Srirangam town.from nagoor at morning 6.30 we took the bus to trichy. we travled for 4hours to reach trichy. myself i had good sleep while travelling.

after we reached, My mother said, she wants to visit SAMAYAPURAM AMMAN KOvIL. which is near from Srirangam Temple, so we dicided to go there and took another bus to reach that temple.after 45mins of travel we reached there. it was like a small village.It is typical amman temple which village people would like to visit most. Myself i had a bad memory there, it was a fight between me and one of the temple person for not behaving properly.because of that incident i couldn't concentrate on my prayer. anyway my mother fulfiled her long time wish to visit the temple.After we came out from temple, we were hungry. so we dicided to have a lunch from nearby hotel. Myself i choosed one hotel and had my lunch. meantime, myfamily members were
joined except my father. after i had finished my lunch. there was one more incident happened.Actually its because of My Mothers innocence.They have choosen one table to sit to have food.in that place where was one yellow color which kept by someone.she thought it belongs to ours and gave it to my father. after receiving that my father was standing outside. after sometime one lady came and asked about the bag, my mother and brother have said, they didn't see anything.After they searched for few minutues they went out. Afte we all cameout from hotel, i saw my father was keeping 2bags with him. then i asked he said, it was given by my mother.then i asked my mother, we supposed to have only one bag, how you have 2 bags with you.She
said, didn't know about it. then i realised that bag belongs to those persons' who were searching for the bag. then myself and brothers have pulled the bag from my father and gave it to the hotel owner. while giving i saw there was a purse in that
bag. I really got angry with my mother. the person who missed that bag, how they would have felt. myself and my brother have shouted my mother on the bus stop. because of her innocence,others got affect.

After this bitter incident we started to visit the THIRUVANAI KAVAL Temple which is on the way to SHRI RANGAM TEMPLE. After 30min of travel we reached that temple. It is a SHIVAN TEMPLE. it was my pleasure to visit that temple.before entering inside the temple, i thought it would have built like normal temple as i have seen in my life. but i was amazed when i entered inside. i never seen such a kind of temple in my life. I suppose, it would have been built atleast 1000 years before.the sculptures designs are too good to explain after seeing all this we went inside to see the JALAGANDESHWAR, which is one of the avatar of lord shiva. The basic concept of this temple, Lord Shiva represent himself by means of water.Its constructured such a that if kauveri river flows in trichy the Deity of the temple would be filled with water. amazing!

After we cameout dicided to visit the SHRI RANGAM.The place of Ranganathar,the shrine of deity is in reclining posture (facing the South).when we entered inside we saw long queue, myself i thought, it would be diffcult to get the darshan.however appu said, we could make it to get the darshan. then we all stood on the queue at around 8 o clock we saw the darshan of PERUMAL and had good prayer. started to reach the railway station to get the train.i got the unresearved ticket to chennai. the booking person said, from 9 to 11.30 there would be 3 trains you could choose anyone as your comfort. unfortunately none of train had place for ours. it was fully crowded and we canceled the ticket and decided to go by bus. We thought, could get seats if we travel from trichy bus stand. But it was worster than what we thought. we were trying to get the bus till 1.00 O clock. since we didn't find anything, my mother and appu have dicided to sleep on the bus stop itself. myfather,vinoth and myself were looking after our things. since it was heavy crowded, we feared anything could happen in anytime. till 4.30 we didn't get any bus. so we dicided to go by vilupuram route. we got the seats to sit ourselves after 4 hours of training we reached there. from there we took pandicherry bus which we traveled for 45 minutes. at around 9.30 we got bus from pandicherry to chennai. it was about 4 hrs of travel to reach chennai. finally we reached the chennai atound 1 o clock.

It was a unforgottable trip wherein we had all the good and bad things. Especially myself i had visited many temples this year.But this is special trip after THIRUVANNAMALAI in this year.because i had chance to pray the god in all the forms and religions.also i hope, would visit Thirupathi before the end of this year.
