Om Namah Shivaya 🙏🏻
Nattrunaiyavadhu Namachivayame 🙏🏻

With divine grace, Annamalaiyar Arappani Kuzhu led by @pollaavinayen is involved in Uzhavarapani of dilapidated temples since 2006.
Today’s post is about one such revival activity done in 2019. @punarutthana @raaga31280
An ancient dilapidated Shiva temple probably as ancient as 700 years was lying in ruins in Koogaiyur around 250 kms and 12 kms from Chinna Salem on Salem-Perambalur road.
Inscriptions day the Lord’s name is Karyampureeshwarar. With glorious linga thirumeni, the Lord’s presence & divinity was undeniable there. One could feel His presence. With no roof, He was drenched in sun, rain, wind continuously for centuries.@SaveTemplesBH
From inscriptions, we also learned this temple was built by King Malayaman Thirumudikari. Hence Lord is called Karyampureeswarar here. The temple seemed to an habitat of poisonous snakes and we could see snakes skin and a huge ant hill.
On 07.04.2019, around 70 Kuzhu members and devotees did Uzhavarapani. Gau puja was conducted before commencing to ward off any evil and successful completion.
Activities included removal of unwanted vegetation on walls and roof, cleaning the temple and its surroundings, removal of sand and dry leaves accumulated inside. The temple pond which had gone dry was also cleaned.
More pics and videos
The transformation was evident. Women cleaned the temple and drew beautiful Kolams.
See the transformation
After Uzhavarapani, puja was conducted and a tarpaulin sheet was placed above the Lord.
On 8th, 9th, 10th Apr 2019, a devotee from Athur around 40 kms away constructed metal roofing above Garba gruha.
Daily Pooja has commenced in the temple with divine grace.

A humble request. The Sivachariyar/priest requires contribution for conducting daily Pooja. If you wish to contribute monthly for regular Pooja and dakshina, please DM me.

Thiruchittrambalam 🙏🏻

Om Namo Narayanaya 🙏🏻

Thondai Nadu, northern part of ancient Thamizhagam with northern boundary at Thirupati is a treasure trove of divine temples. Also the birth & tapo stal of great saints.

One such ancient temple was brought to light by Annamalaiyar Arappani Kuzhu recently
Sridevi Bhoodevi sametha Sri Adi Kesava Perumal temple at Bagasalai, 45 kms from Poonamallee near Chennai. This temple was in a highly dilapidated condition when Kuzhu surveyed it before Uzhavarapani.
@pollaavinayen @punarutthana @raaga31280
Probably there was no Pooja done for last 200 years. Villagers themselves avoided this place as it was home to many poisonous snakes. The temple structure was completely hidden in dense vegetation.

என் கடன் பணி செய்து கிடப்பதே !
My duty is to keep serving!

Following the steps of Appar, Annamalaiyar Arappani Kuzhu has revived several dilapidated temples. Today Let us see the successful revival of Sri AdiKamakshi sametha Sri Karkateshwarar temple, Manavur,TN. @punarutthana
Manavur is near the famous Thiruvalangadu. The Lord here is also called Thiru Nandeeswarar. This ancient temple with glorious history was in ruins until 26.10.2014 when Kuzhu did Uzhavarapani by removing overgrown vegetation, cleaning and planting trees.
The temple was restored to its past glory with efforts of villagers & devotees culminating in Kumbabhishekam on 27.01.2019. Though I posted a short thread before, I wished to highlight the sthala purana in detail here. Please read on.

TEMPLE OF THE DAY: Sri Mangalambigai sametha Sri Manganathar temple -Uthirakosamangai in Ramanathapuram district, TN.
One of the oldest Shiva temples dating back to Ramayana period & closely associated with Mandodhari, wife of Ravana. This temple is even older than Rameshwaram. ImageImageImageImage
A Tamizh saying “Man thodriya podhe mangai thondriyadhu” explains the antiquity of this temple.
Uthiram - Upadesh; Kosam - secret; Mangai - Devi Parvati. Here, the Lord blessed the Vedic secrets to Maa Parvati. Hence the name. Another uniqueness is it houses the Emerald Nataraja ImageImageImageImage
Mangalanathar blesses us as a Svayambu lingam and the supreme mother is called Mangalambigai. It houses emerald and spatika lingams. During Arudra/Thiruvathirai, people throng to witness the day long abhishekam of Emerald Nataraja. ImageImageImageImage

Hara Hara Mahadeva🙏🏻 Another success story of ‘Annamalai Arapani Kuzhu’ led by @pollaavinayen
Sri Aishwaryambigai sametha Sri Navanetheeswarar temple in Nawazpettai near Kanchipuram. A long thread but please read in full to witness the divine transformation.
This ancient temple was in complete ruins and the team did Uzhavarapani on 19.02.2017. Locals were stunned to see such a temple existed there as it was completely covered by bushes and trees. Except Nandi which was broken, no vigrahams were found.
After Uzhavarapani...
The temple was reconstructed by villagers with support of several dharmics. With divine grace, Kumbabhishekam was performed with pomp on 10.11.2019.
