December Season hopping started with Dr.Chithra Madhavan's lecture on Thiruvannamalai, with vocal support by Archana & Aarthi.
Asusual the 1.5 hrs were loaded with so much information & great music.
Putting up her concluding statement 1st !
The description of the temple prakaras.
Arunchala Naatham, Shri Muthuswamy Dikshitar krithi in saranga.

On karana sculptures, just like the chola era ones in chidambaram, vijayanagara's contribution in the thiruvannamalai temple shouldn't be missed
Arunagirinathar's Thirupugazh in beautiful thamizh.
How can we not talk about Veera Vallala (Ballala) when we talk of Thiruvannamalai. A lot of ppl, including tamils assume that no invasions happened here & all the temples are intact since the pallava, chola era. Bu the fact is, a lot of reconstruction happened during vijayanagara
Last but not the least. The emblem of the vijayanagaras.
As a south Indian, my pranams to the Vijayanagara kings for saving a great deal here from invading barbarians. 🙏
