In Pattiveeranpatti, 8% of the population is under 6 years of age.

History of the Village

Pattiveerana gowder was supposed to be the firstman who had migrated to this place,in ancient times and founded this village.Following him many others also came and settled in this village.Eventually this place acquired the name Pattiveeranpatti. PattiveeranPatti is one of the oldest Villages in India, with a history dating all the way back to nearly 1500years. It was part of the ancient pandyan empire and later on came under the reign of the mighty chola empire. It became part of the  vijaynagara empire also in the medieval times and after its collapse it came under Madurai Nayaks' rule.
This small village is occupied with full of coffee growers who own the coffee estates, in the Thandikudi hills area which is part of the Palani Hills. By 1860, coffee cultivation in the Western Ghats (Lower Palani Hills range) had gained momentum and the estate owners in Pattiveeranpatti, became pioneers in the development and cultivation of coffee plantations.In addition they also developed banana and orange plantations. The variety of banana (called "malai pazham" in Tamil is equally tasty like the famous " sirumalai pazham"). Their success in the cultivation of coffee coupled with their entrepreneurship had paved the way for developing Pattiveeranpatti as the perfect trading hub for Coffee, Cardamom,Pepper and other spices. It grew into a prosperous rural town which has many huge heritage bungalows that once belonged to these planters.

கஜுரஹோ khajuraho kovil-madhya pradesh

Khajuraho group of temples in Central India is one of the most illustrious manifestations of Indian architecture. These 10th-11th century temples represent religiosity, patronage, artistic genius and aesthetic sensibility all at once. Built in the typical 'Nagara' style of architecture, over 20 of the original 85 temples have survived the climate for more than a thousand years despite being lost into obscurity and hence, suffering neglect for a long period of time. Believed to have been constructed during the Chandela rule, the temples belong to Shaivism and Vaishnavism sects of Hinduism, Jainism and 'tantrism'. Unlike other temple complexes in the country, there is no enclosure wall surrounding these temples and each of them on a high and solid raised masonry platform. Though not very large, they have elegant proportions and are adorned with sculptures on their exteriors and even interiors.

These walled sculptures include depiction of numerous deities, their attendants, celestial maidens in sensuous positions and provocative postures, embracing couples (some of them in erotic sexual positions), dancers and musicians and couples engaged in various refinements of courtly love. It is believed that one temple alone sports over six hundred and fifty such figures ranging from sensual and warm depictions to explicit sexual activity (believed to illustrate the tantric rites by some). Some of these much-famed or much-notorious sexual postures are said to follow the Kama Sutra, the ancient Indian manual of art of making love. One of the most preferred destinations after Taj Mahal, Khajuraho has provided a scenic backdrop for many movies as well as many Indian classical dances that have been performed here.கஜுரஹோ 

ooty train

Ooty Train is connected by a narrow gauge line from Mettupalayam, Nearest broad gauge railway head is Mettupalayam (46 kms). Major broad-gauge railway junction is Coimbatore. It is connected with all major cities. Mettupalayam to Ooty is connected by a Mountain Railway which is 4 and half hours journey moves through forests, tea plantations, sixteen tunnels, and more than 250 bridges, starting from Mettupalayam on the plains. Traveling in this train is a true journey to remember.
The construction of this line was a big confront as the terrain is rather tricky. It was in 1854 that the first plans were drawn to build a mountain railway from Mettupalayam to the Nilgiris Hills. But it was a good 45 years later in 1899 that the first train chugged up this track. This itself is a charming blue and cream with wooden coaches and large windows. It is hauled uphill by steam engines, designed and built by the Swiss Locomotive Works. Twelve of such locomotive engines continue to exist even today. The train covers the 46 km to Ooty (Udhagamandalam) in four and half hours. There are six stations between Mettupalayam and Ooty, Coonoor, Kallar, Adderely, Hill Grove, Runnymede and Kateri - and, at one time, there were five between Coonoor and Ooty too. Though Wellington, Aruvankkadu, Ketti, and Lovedale are still functional, Fern Hill, the last one, was closed down a few years ago.
Extensive rice fields surround the 7km stretch between Mettupalayam and Kallar. Soon after is an impressive 20 km section through truly rocky terrain. The track passes over 26 viaducts and twists and bends through 13 tunnels. After a steep climb, the train enters Coonoor, the little hill station known for its tea plantations. From here, the track is uphill till you reach Fern Hill at a height of 2,200m, the highest point on the railroad. Shortly before Ooty, the line dips downhill. If you enjoy taking pictures, keep your camera ready for a few shots of the bridge between Kallar and Adderley.
This ride is sure to turn the most hardened rail critic into an avid fan. You'll delight in the edge if -the seat twists and turns as the train run across tall joist bridges, and over green hills before gently oblique through rolling tea estates. The exhaust beat of the loco never falters, maintaining a loud staccato which can be heard for miles around.

coacker`s walk-kodaikanal

It is a narrow path (of length 1km) for pedestrians which runs along the steep mountains. A walk along this path will give you a delightful experience and one can view many places such as Pambar river, Dolphin's nose & birds eye view of Periyakulam from here.

kollimalai-namakkal

This might sound odd to you but it really works.
I take a break (from work) every year for a minimum of 4 days. Most importantly I choose a place where there is less human population and technology especially mobile coverage. This time I went to a place called “Kolli Hills” (near Namakal).

Amazing Place:

Kolli Hills is about 2 and a half hour’s journey from Namakal town. One key point to be noted is that the bus frequency is very less; hardly 5-8 times a day. There are about 70 hairpin bends to negotiate on the way and this should keep the trip interesting. The place is approximately 1200 metres above sea level and by the time I reached there I was literally walking amongst the clouds.

Kolli Hills, being one of the lesser-known spots, is exceedingly calming and peaceful. Being there is like a balm for one’s soul.

There are about 240 villages on the hills and the total population is about 2272. This, I read on an information board put up by the government. You can imagine how far the hills must be spread to accommodate that many settlements.

Once in Kolli Hills and you want to “sight-see” there are 4 must-visit places that you must visit:
1. View Point
2. Boat House
3. Arpaliswarar Temple
4. Water Falls (near the temple)

kamaraj

Thiru K.Kamaraj was born in a poor family in 1903 in Virudupatti.He gave up his education at an early age and was attracted by the India's Independence Movement.He then joined the Indian National Congress and took active part  in Freedom Struggle.

                          After Independence , he was elected as the Chief Minister of TamilNadu.During his tenure as the Chief Minister of TamilNadu, he constructed several dams.He contributed immensely for the industrial growth of the state.He was the root cause for introducing Noon Meals scheme to the poor students of Tamil Nadu.This scheme was introduced in the year 1956 to all the primary schools .Primary facilities were provided to people of all classes during his period.He was very particular in the upliftment of Adi Dravidars.
                            In 1960,he introduced  a scheme of Free Education up to standard eleven and provided a golden opportunity for everybody to learn.He also introduced Pension Scheme for teachers and Government employees.     Kamaraj  insisted  that every youth must actively participate in politics and he relieved himself from the post of    Chief Minister, thereby setting himself an example to others.He was then elected as the President of All India  Congress Committee.His voice was always given due respect  and he was used to be called as "THE KING MAKER OF THE GOVERNMENT".
   Thiru.Kamaraj was also the recipient of the country's highest award -"THE BHARATH RATHNA".He lead a very simple life during his lifetime and set an example to all other citizens of the nation.

thamiraparani

Thamiraparni has a large network of tributaries - Peyar, Ullar, Karaiyar, Servalar, Pampar, Manimuthar, Varahanathi, Ramanathi, Jambunathi, Gadananathi, Kallar, Karunaiyar, Pachaiyar, Chittar, Gundar, Aintharuviar, Hanumanathi, Karuppanathi and Aluthakanniar.  Only  two rivers of the Tirunelveli district -  Nambiar and the Hanumanathi of Nanguneri taluk are not linked to Tamiraparani. (There are two Hanumanathis in the district). 
There are many views on the meaning and origin of the name Thamiraparni. In his book, 'A History of Tinnevelly', the well  known  Tamil  literary  figure  and  missionary  of  nineteenth  century,  Bishop  Caldwell residing at Idayankudi, a classmate in  Britain of Lord Napier the  then  Governor  of  Madras (1866 - 1872), discusses  the various interpretations of the word ‘Tamiraparani’. The meaning of the word Tamiraparani is sufficiently clear, Tamara means, red,  parani means parana, a tree which has leaves, but why the river is named so is not known.  
Another view is the name Tamiraparani originates form Tamiram (Copper) + Varuni (stream or river). They ascribe this to the origin of the river from red soil, giving the water a copper like appearance. The Greeks of the Ptolemy’s time refer to this river as Solen.
By naming this river Thamiraparni, tree with red leaves, a simile is drawn out between this river with a large number of tributaries to a tree with innumerable branches, reaching out widely the entire region.
As is the Indian tradition to associate various physical aspects to various Gods, His various incarnations or Saints, the Tirunelveli Sthalapurana associates the origin of the river with sage Agasthiyar. It states that when Agasthiyar was  to move to the South, Parvathi Devi, the divine consort of Siva filled the sage’s kamandalu (font meant to hold water for poojas) with the water from the Ganges and on his arrival at Pothigai, he released it and the water ran as Thamiraparni.

cheraman perumal -kerala

Cheraman Perumal Nayanar was born in Kodunkolur. It was the capital city of Malai Nadu (the present Kerala). He was born in the royal family of Kothayars, otherwise known as the Uthiyan family. The name "Cheraman" was the common name for all Cheras. "Perumal" was the title adopted by him after his coronation. His original name was Perum-Ma-Kothayar.
Cheraman Perumal was endowed with good samskaras. He had great devotion to the Lord even as a child. As he grew, his devotion also grew. He had a remarkable degree of dispassion and discrimination. He did not like to rule the country. So, when he came of age, he renounced the world and went to Thiru Anchaikalam and engaged himself in the worship of the Lord there.
The country was, instead, ruled by Sengol Porayan. He, too, soon realized the evanescence of worldly life and renounced the world! He had no issues and the throne was vacant.
Sengol Porayan went to Thiru Anchaikalam and requested Perum-Ma-Kothayar to ascend the throne. Though Cheraman Perumal was reluctant, lest it should interfere with his daily worship, he bowed to the divine will. He went to the temple and offered a prayer. The Lord permitted him to accept the rulership. By the Lord's grace, Cheraman Perumal ascended the throne and ruled the country justly and wisely. He could understand all languages, even the language of the birds. The Lord had bestowed upon him all the aiswaryas, great strength, royal vehicles, etc.
After the coronation, Cheraman Perumal went to the temple.
After worshipping the Lord there, Cheraman Perumal returned to the palace. On the way, Cheraman Perumal saw a washerman whose body had been smeared with white sand and mud. The very sight enraptured Cheraman Perumal who saw — in the washerman — the image of Lord Siva with the sacred ash smeared all over the body. Cheraman Perumal was raised to God-consciousness.
Cheraman Perumal descended from the elephant and fell at the feet of the washerman, in spite of the latter's protest. All were wonderstruck to witness the supreme devotion of Cheraman Perumal Nayanar.

kerala girls

The State of Kerala is located in the south western coastal region of India.  It is a unique, distinct state defined my the Malayalam language and culture.  In my opinion it is the Malayalam language which really defined who is a Shakeela or Kerala girl and who is not.
The geography of this tropical land on the Indian Ocean is like Hawaii, that is tropical, with both mountains and flat lands and huge bio diversity in plants and animals. There is a lot of backwater also this is similar to Louisiana.
This one state in India has thirty two million people.  That means there are about ten million single Kerala girls looking for a husband.  That is a lot of single Kerala lady.  That is more than the entire populations of many countries.  That is like a couple of cities of the whole population of Paris for example.  My point is if you are looking for a Malayali girls than you can find her.
I have mentioned this in my other post that the princesses of this land are the most educated and upwardly mobile people of the Sub Asian continent.  This is because these people when to the gulf states to work and earned very good money, mostly because of the exchange rate and oil industry

PULI THEVAN(NETKATTUM SEVAL)

       He was born in 1715. He was the first man to make war of British to cry. He was the only man who refused to pay tax against British. This made a wound to his self respect and in 1755 he was the first herald the freedom movement of defeating the demand of Col. Aaron. He planned a war against the Britishers and defeated them too. At last Britishers planned to attack him while offering prayers at Sankara Nainar Koil but he dis-appeared into a cave and he never returned. Thus to his memorial they kept a Nelkattum Seval at Sivagiri Taluk.

ANDAMAN ISLAND

Amongst the sub continental countries India has the largest land area. Andaman and Nicobar Islands, a union territory of India lies in the Bay of Bengal. It consists of about 527 islands both small and large. The coastline of the Islands stretches for about 100 Kms. The Islands are covered with dense forests all around. The area of the Islands is about 8,293 square kilometers.The Islands consist of 2 groups, the Andaman and Nicobar. These two groups are separated by about 300 Km the capital city is Port Blair. Of the total land area 92% of the land is covered with rain forests. Of the 527 islands, in only 38 islands we find the inhabitants.
The rest of the land is barren. Andaman and Nicobar Islands lie close to the Arakanmayo mountain range of Burma which lies to the sides of Sumatra of Indonesia. Andaman is a developing land, with people being cultured and literate.
The Nicobar Islands are still inhabited by primitive tribes and backward communities. The population of the whole land is about 5 lakhs. Men and women populate equally. 2.5 lakh people have the right to vote. We can find high mountains, lush green forests, wide roads, new buildings and long coastline where are some entering features of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands which make it beautiful.

The people in the Islands speak many languages. Peace prevails all over as there are no political or communal riots or atrocities. Not only the beauty of nature and the various enticing features but the peace loving people have made the Andaman and Nicobar Islands a tourist spot for visitors overseas. The people are given quality education. Medical facilities are qualitative. The people are very much aware of their rights and concessions and so do they abide and maintain their standards. The people enjoy a lot of freedom. They do not have any limitations. They live in harmony. This is a rare sight that one finds in India which is unusual as there are constraints, political and communal riots, and calmless situation in the other parts of India.

The people who dwell here are descendants of the prisoners put in from other parts of India, the refugees who settled down from countries like Bangladesh, Burma and Srilanka and Government officials and army personnel. There are people of various castes and creed but these differences have not thrust a difference in people rather as they have formed a harmonious society. The great leader Mahatma Gandhi’s dream vision of finding a peaceful land has become a dream come true, a reality in the form of this new land, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. People of the various states and union territories have a free access to these Islands. If they wish to settle down in these Islands they are permitted to gain permanent resident status. Special permission is not needed to settle in these Islands. But tourists from other countries who wish to visit these Islands have to get prior permission from the Indian government. They are granted a visa for 30 days to visit the Islands. The visitors will enjoy Andaman and Nicobar islands more during December and march as the climatic conditions and weather will be excellent. People visit the hill stations during the summer between April and June. But in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands the months between December and March is ideal to visit

VEERA PANDIYA KATTABOMMAN(KAYATHARU)

Kayatharu is a panchayat town in Thoothukudi district in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It is situated along National Highway 7 (NH7) between Tirunelveli and Kovilpatti.
Kayatharu, also referred to as Kayathar, is situated about 25 kilometres (16 mi) from Tirunelveli on the way to Madurai. Kattabomman, one of the earliest opponent of British rule in India, was hanged on a Tamarind tree, by the British in 1799 in Kayathar. A memorial has been built here by the Tamil Nadu government for Kattabomman.
Kayatharu means "bitter river", from Aaru (Tamil for river) and kayarpu/kasappu (Tamil for bitter). This name may refer to the river flowing through the town or was attributed to sri Godhandaramar who always wore a thulasi malai (in English "basil garland" which has a bitter taste) and whose temple is located on the banks of the river.

Historical events

The last Pandiya King Marthanda Varman fought and lost to the Nayakar Dynasty at Kayathar.
King Veera Pandiya Kattabomman, whose fort was located near Kayathar (Panchalan kurichi), was hanged by the British in this place. The king's statue was built in Kayathar by Tamil cinema actor Sivaji Ganeshan.

vellore fort

Vellore was part and parcel of Arcot, which is considered to be a great city even during the Sangam age. The Sangam literature mentions about the richness of Arcot. In one of the literature, written by Paranar, the poet praises the city of Arcot which is about 1900 years old. He says that it was equal to the Chola capital Uraiyur near Trichy. The name Arcot is derived from the nature Aru-Kadu (Six forests) that existed on either side of the river palar. In these six forest, six famous sages said to have been doing penance.

Another version is that there were six varieties of trees existing in these forests and thus the name Arcot is derived from the Tamil work Aru-Kadu. Some others say that the river and the forest ((in Tamil Aarum Kadugalum) together is called as Arcot. Another version is that the forest was full or Arr or Atti (Glamoratta) trees and the name of the people is derived from these Arrtrees as (Arr-Kadu) Arcot.

Raa.Pi. Sethupillai, in his book “Oorum Perum” (Place and Name) mentions that in the olden days, there were Velan (Babool) trees in the heart of the present town and the city in the middle of this dense forest was known as Velapadi. Later when development took place it was called as Velur-Padi which is mentioned in the inscriptions and then changed to its present from as Vellore. Even today a place called as Velapadi is famous ancient part of Vellore Town.

MARUTHANAYAGAM

Maruthanayagam (Marudhanayagam) Pillai, or Muhammad Yusuf Khan, was born in Pannaiyur, Ramanad District, Tamilnadu, India in 1725. From humble beginnings, he became a warrior in the Arcot troops, later Commandant for the British East India Company troops. The British and the Arcot Nawab used him to suppress Polygars (Palayakkarar) in the South Tamilnadu. The polygar system had evolved with the extension of Vijayanagar rule to Tamil Nadu by the Nayaks. It was the brain-child of Aryanatha Mudaliar (Thalavaai Mudaliar), the celebrated tamil general and prime minister of Viswanatha Nayak, the first Nayak ruler of Madurai.The country was divided into provinces or Palayams (pronounced Paalayam). Each palayam usually consisting of a few villages,was placed under the control of a Palayakkaran (Polygar or Poligar as mentioned in the English records) who was expected to provide in return, an annual tribute and military service to the Madurai ruler.Later he was entrusted to administrating the Madurai country when the Madurai Nayaks rule ended. During that uncertain period he demonstrated his considerable abilities as an administrator.

bhavani river

Bhavani River takes pride in posing as the second largest river of Tamil Nadu. The most important tributary are River Kaveri which is the longest river in Tamil Nadu. The Bhavini is measured around 217 kilometers which the long river is flowing through out the year. The watershed of this river is around 6200 square kilometer that has spread on the land of Tamil Nadu (87%), Kerala (9%) and the Karnataka (4%). The main river runs through entire Tamil Nadu. Around 90% of the water from the river is utilized for agriculture. There are around 6 million people that lies across the banks. The municipal, agricultural and the Industrial pollution of the river has resulted in the poor condition of water and bad impact on the health of the people. Leather, Textile, Sugar, Slaughter House, Paper and the Industrial waste are located across the river and all its tributaries at many such points.

Head Waters :

The head water of the river are located on the Eastern slopes arising from the Western Ghats in the region of Attappadi Reserve Forest in the district of Palakkad of Kerala, the southwest corner in the Kunda Hills of the Nilgiris of Tamil Nadu. Today, the upper portion of the river is being created near the huge Bhaktavatsalam Sagar Reserviour. The river flows in the direction northwest to the Karnataka, draining from the south slope that belongs to the Nilgiri Hills, then it flows for few kilometer southwards and it gets in the state of Karnataka. There are deep gorges in this region and then it continues ahead with 20 kilometers in between Mukkali from forested ridges.

Tributaries :

There are almost 12 main rivulets running into the southern region of the Nilgiri slopes. The east and the west Varagar tributaries draining through the Niligiris which are the largest of all and they all have dams in the state of Tamil Nadu. Bhavani moves ahead with the 120 degree turn from the north east at Mukkali and further flows for 25 kilometers from Attappady plateau and around 7 kilometers around the border of the inter state.

The Kunda River coming from the North reinforces the Bhavani River. The Kunda River gives more water in the extensive region from the Nilgiris and that creates a boundary in between Kerala and Tamil Nadu covering the distance of around 5 kilometers. It meets the River Bahvani on the left bank in the western region of Tamil Nadu in a beautiful place known as Athikadavu. The River Siruvani which is a perennial river that belongs to the Coimbatore District and the River Kodungarapallam running from the south east and the south that joins the River Bhavani in the region of Koodappatti on the border of Tamil Nadu and Kerala.

Afterwards, from this region Bhavani River runs in the east direction running through the base from the Nilgiris and joins the Arulmigu Bathra - Kalimman Temple near the Mettupalayam and again starts its flow with Coonoor River that has its beginning from the region of Coonor from the North West. This is the place where it creates a valley in between the Nilgiri Slopes through the Northern slopes and the Bilgiri Hills from the Southern slopes. Running from the region of the Moyar the river has blocked the Dam known as Lower Bhavani which created a small reservoir nearby Sathyamangalam in the district of Erode. The river flows through the east at a distance of about 160 kilometers from the district of Erode, running through the Kodiveri Dam at Gobichettipalayam and in the Bhavani Taluks prior merging with the River Cauvery. The Bhavani flows from the east past of the Sathyamangalam. The dam of Kodiveri pours the water near Gobichettipalayam in Thadappalli and the Arakkankottai canals that are built specially for the purpose of agriculture.

POLLACHI MASANIAMMAN TEMPLE

Merchants meeting loss in their business, people hassled by enemies, women or men who lost their belongings take bath, sport holy ashes of the shrine, grind red chillies in stone grinder of the temple, smear the paste on stone of Justice called ‘Neethi Kal’.
In the sanctum, the extensive image of Masaniamman lying on her back measures about 15 feet long from head to foot. The gigantic image of Masaniamman is painted with flashy colours.

Here, one can see Goddess Masaniamman in the lying posture. The idol has four hands, two hands placed on the ground, two hands raised above. While the top left hands hold a skull and snake and other two hands holding drum and a trident.

On Tuesdays and Fridays devotees rush to this temple, during Krithigai and New Moon day they undergo special pooja.
There is a historical background for the configuration of this powerful temple. Anaimalai, a place near Pollachi was ruled earlier by the king called Nanan. He treated their people very badly. During his reign he had a very big mango tree in his farm on the riverside of Aaliyar, which was very special to him. He was so particular that nobody was permitted to use neither mangoes nor its leaves.
Once,a gang of girls went to river to take bath they noticed a mango floating on the river which belongs to Nanan's tree, one of the girl picked up and ate the fruit. Even after several pleadings made by her father, instead of excusing her the king sentenced her to death.
After some time villagers in that area formed a female statue in lying posture using sand in graveyard with the remembrance of innocent girl and worshipped as ‘Masani’. Later Kozhinkhosargal defeated king Nanan and destroyed the mango tree.
It is also believed that Lord Rama on his way in search of Seetha was attracted by this powerful temple and made meditation over here which adds glory to this temple. So, once you visit Pollachi don’t miss to worship Masaniamman

RAJA RAVI VARMA PAINTING

RAJA RAVI VARMA (1848-1906) was born in Kilimanoor Palace as the son of Umamba Thampuratti and Neelakandan Bhattathiripad. At the age of seven years he started drawing on the palace walls using charcoal. His uncle Raja Raja Varma noticed the talent of the child and gave preliminary lessons on painting. At the age of 14, Ayilyam Thirunal Maharaja took him to Travancore Palace and he was taught water painting by the palace painter Rama Swamy Naidu. After 3 years Theodor Jenson, a British painter taught him oil painting.
Most of Ravi Varma's paintings are based on Hindu epic stories and characters. In 1873 he won the First Prize at the Madras Painting Exhibition. He became a world famous Indian painter after winning in 1873 Vienna Exhibition.

ATHIRAPALLI FALLS

The Athirappilly Falls is situated on the Chalakudy river, which originates in the upper reaches of the Western Ghats. Many endangered and endemic species of flora and fauna are found in the forests of the Athirapilly-Vazhachal area. This area is the only place in the Western Ghats where four endangered Hornbill species are seen. The Western Ghats is one of the most important biodiversity hot spot in the world. This valuable natural world is already degraded by mining and hydro electric projects. Environmentalists claim that Athirapally is a one-of its-kind riparian ecosystem in Kerala. V.S. Vijayan, Chairman of the Kerala State Biodiversity Board and former Director of the Salim Ali Centre for Ornithology and Natural History (SACON), Coimbatore, has been quoted in Down to Earth magazine as affirming that the Vazhachal forest division is the second most biodiverse area in the State. The International Bird Association has declared it an ‘Important Bird Area' and the Asian Nature Conservation Foundation has recommended that the area should be declared a sanctuary or a national park, he points out.

CAVE TEMPLE

The motive of the construction of the cave temples is that the gods of Hindu religion should be placed in beautiful places. Most of the temples that are present in the land are built in a beautiful manner to attract many people and in the similar way the cave temples in Tamilnadu are also created in such a way to gain good worshiping experience for the people. Most of the kings who work on creating temples in caves think that they will get good recognition in the history after creating of the cave temple. The Hindu gods are placed in the beautiful places and are worshiped to get the glory to the life of people.

The holy island of Rameswaram is known for one of India’s most venerated and most visited Shiva shrines, dedicated to Sri Ramanathaswamy. It is so intimately associated with the life of Sri Rama, the hero of the epic Ramayana, that both Saivites and Vaishnavites consider every grain of Rameswaram’s sand very sacred. There is a traditional belief among the Hindus that a pilgrimage to Kashi will be complete only after a visit to Rameswararn, also hailed as “Benaras of the South”. Pilgrims aspire for a holy dip in the sea at Dhanushkodi, revered as Sethu Theertha, where the Mahodathi (Bay of Bengal) meets Ratnakara (Indian Ocean).

     The sanctity and antiquity of Rameswaram is summed up in the old saying Aa Sethu Himachalam. The merits of Sethu Yatra are described in the Vedas and in almost all the Puranas -- Agneya, Bhagavatha, Padma, Shiva and Skanda Puranas, to mention a few. Numerous literary works in Sanskrit and Tamil from the period of Valmiki Ramayana extol the significance of Sethu Yatra. The four Saivite saints Appar, Sundarar, Sambandar and Manickavasagar have sung in praise of Lord Rarnanathaswamy. Saint Thayumaanavar was a staunch devotee of Goddess Parvathavardhini.
          Rameswaram is the abode of one of the 12 Jyothirlingas of India. It is also considered one among four most sacred pilgrim centers of India. They are Rameswaram in the South, Badrinath in the North, Puri in the East and Dwaraka in the West. Among these, Rameswaram is dedicated to Shiva, while the other three are dedicated to Vishnu.
         Rameswaram is an acclaimed Parihara Sthala, where it is believed all sins get absolved. Devotees take holy dips at Sethu Theertha, Agni Theertha and other sacred waters, offer pujas to get progeny, perform Shraadha for their ancestors and do Naga Prathishta
