Added attraction in this temple is KUDHAMBAI SIDDHAR Jeeva Samadhi ..Siddhars are great scholars lived in India .. It is strongly believed by devotees that praying in the Siddhar Sannidhi brings lots of positive energy vibrations to the devotee .. There are around 18 siddhars lived in the ancient times .. Sage AGASTHIYAR is a siddhar too ..
The second attraction is the God SATTAI NATHAR who is a manifestation of Lord Shiva .. This unique form of Lord Shiva darshan can be had in Sirkhazhi which is at 20 KM from Mayavaram... It is opened for devotees darshan on Fridays ..
LEGEND OF SATTAINATHAR :
Mahavishnu incurred a dosham for having sent King Mahabali to Patalam ( story of Vamana Avatara). He wanted to get relieved of this and prayed here. Shiva wanted to show that there is no difference between Him and Vishnu and He took the skin off Vishnu’s body whereby the dosham was removed. He used this skin as an adornment in His body and hence He is called Sattainathar ( sattai in tamil means shirt or dress).
The Legend of Mayuranathaswami Temple:
According to the legend, once Lord Shiva gets angered by Goddess Parvathi. So, he curses her to be born as a peacock... Later she repents for her mistake and asksfor forgiveness. Hence, she prays at Mylapore and Mayiladuthurai to overcome the curse. Pleased by her penance, Lord Shiva is said to have forgiven her...
This temple has a beautiful Nataraja Bronze statue with His Consort Parvathi called Sivagami Ammai in Tamil .. I uploaded here a close up shot of this ancient Lord Nataraja bronze statue .. The craftsmanship is really unbelievable ..

Sheshshayi Vishnu(Reclining Vishnu), Hampi
They say, that every rock at Hampi was once a human or Gandharva or Yaksha. Even today these rocks hold something in them. In one of the last articles, we had seen one of such rocks telling the story of a Sun god. Here is another remarkable art that caught my eye while roaming around these boulders, is of reclining Vishnu. To reach out to this form of Vishnu is not an easy task. But when you reach, you find solace at the feet of Lord Vishnu.

The entire universe is dissolved into primordial waters at the end of the age, Lord Vishnu, having stretched out on Shesha, entered into the Yoga Nidra. Bhudevi and Sridevi are sitting at the feet of the lord, serving him with one hand and holding a bud and bloomed lotus respectively. This indicates that it’s just a little time left for the creation of a new universe. Lord Brahma is sitting on a lotus that has emerged from the navel of Lord Vishnu in penance so that he could form a new universe. And Garuda and Hanumant are standing aside, waiting for their lord to awaken from
Yoga Nidra.
What a remarkable thought behind this beautiful sculpture! I am sure, whenever Tungabhadra is gushing with freshwaters in monsoon, this landscape must be looking like a Kshirsagara itself.

Majestic view from Gangaikonda Cholapuram
.
The Chola Empire was based in the Kaveri River Valley, which runs southeast through Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and the southern Deccan Plateau to the Bay of Bengal. At its height, the Chola Empire controlled not only southern India and Sri Lanka, but also Maldives. It took key maritime trading posts from the srivijaya empire in what is now Indonesia, enabling a rich cultural transfusion in both directions, and sent diplomatic and trading missions to China's Song Dynasty (960 - 1279 CE).

Jambukeswarar Temple in Tiruchirapalli district, Tamil Nadu.
The temple was built by Kocengannan (Kochenga Chola), one of the Early Cholas, more than 1,800 years ago.
An epitome of craftsmanship and that too 1800 years ago!!
This depicts how advanced we were without the machines.

सुरसागर झील जिसे चांद तालाब के नाम से भी जाना जाता है, भारत में गुजरात राज्य के वडोदरा शहर के मध्य में स्थित एक झील है। 18 वीं शताब्दी में पत्थर की चिनाई के साथ झील का पुनर्निर्माण किया गया था। इस झील का पानी इसमें साल भर बना रहता है। झील के चारों ओर एक कंक्रीट की दीवार है जिस पर लोग बैठते थे। झील के बीच में वडोदरा महानगर सेवा सदन द्वारा निर्मित भगवान शिव की 120 फीट (37 मीटर) ऊंची मूर्ति है। झील में कई पानी के नीचे के गेट हैं जो ओवरफ्लो होने पर झील को खाली कर देते हैं। झील का पानी विश्वामित्र नदी में खाली हो जाता है। झील का उपयोग नौका विहार के लिए किया जाता था। महाशिवरात्रि पर शिव की प्रतिमा को रोशनी से जलाया जाता है।
