Some day I will make up for not having visited the temples of Goa.
But this time, when visiting family in Singapore, I took the initiative to visit a few amazing temples.
I will cover one temple at a time to do justice to them.
Hope you enjoy.

Sri Thendayuthapani Temple:
Prior to 1859 Nagarathars worshipped a Vel (spear), a representation of Lord Muruga, under a tree. The Vel was kept under a Pipal tree (Arasa maram) at the bank of a tank (pond). Fresh water from the hill emerged as a waterfall and filled the tank.

Sri Meenakshi Amman (incarnation of Lord Sivan and Goddess Sakthi). Later, all other important deities including the Navagrahas were erected.
The temple has undergone many renovations since then and is currently also undergoing renovations as can be seen in my pics.
