The waking up of the sri ranganatha is a very elegant ritual in #srirangam a vainika strums an ancient tune on the veena and sings gently so as to not wake him abruptly. The first objects that he sees need also be auspicious 
The elephant that has brought a pot of water a white horse and a cow are lined up. The rear of the cow the face of the horse and elephant are visible to him when the screen is removed The elephant blares ranga ranga as does the crowd
You are asked to concentrate on the feet of the lord as it is visible in this darshan - also the chaturbhuja is usually not visible when garlanded
Next 3 days visiting #Temples in and around Trichy, Tanjavur & Kumbakonam. #WalkToTemple @veejaysai garu appreciate any special tips..
Started auspicious Vijaya Dasami day with Darshan of Supreme Mother Goddess Arulmigu Mariamman, Samayapuram. The main idol is made of Sand & Clay. As per Wikipedia this is the second most richest temple in TN after Palani.
Our next stop is Tiruvanaikaval, had darshan of Arulmigu Jambukeswarar and Arulmigu Akhilandeshwari. This is one of the the Pancha Bhoota Lingam and it represents water. With this we have seen all the 5. There was an massive golu in the temple.

Missing it! Sigh! 🙏😓

It is a day long affair! The process of which would have begun few weeks ago! First they prepare the Thailam. But more about that later. As for today, early morning the temple elephant goes to take a dip in the Kaveri, as usual. No Vishwaroopam darshanam today.
The Sthalathars, Sthanikars, Maniyakarars of the temple recieve a special Mariyadhai first. They carry special pots to the Kaveri. 28 silver pots and one gold pot. A long procession goes from the temple to the Amma Mandapam. With the Nagaswaram and Thavil Melam.

The dreaded Chniese Vrius had attacked just before the Panguni Utsavams last time. And for two years, everything was conducted within the temple premises. The residents of Srirangam have been eagerly waiting for two years now!
Finally this year they are happening, like before!😀

#Elections are supposed to be about electing representations for framing legislations
However the geography behind delimitation which doesnt consider complex socio-economic conditions promote communal polarization leading to deterioration of Democractic values

Understanding Delmitation:
The constituency delimitation is based on population. and for last delineation exercise, 2001 population was used. Average population was calculated to be 270000 people per constituency

To delineate which village/town comes under which constituency, some rules are followed
To achieve the avg population, officials start with headquarters for the constituencies in district & add villages/towns within same or neighbouring taluks(subdistricts) in same district

What TN Hindus must be worried most about is the way #HRCE endangering the antiquity and heritage value of Ancient Shrines built by kings Centuries ago, they are still standing taller against all Natural calamities!
Now we have lost 1000s of bronzes out of #HRCE's utter carelessness, and in many cases HRCE officials themselves have played a role in destroying our cultural identities.
We have over 35,000 inscriptions discovered in TN temples, which, comparatively, more in numbers many a times than what have been discovered so far in the rest of India combined, its a huge treasure, but we are losing all of them gradually to sand and water blasting methods.
