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.

the deity Harihara, a fusion of the Vishnu and Shiva. The image of the deity is a fusion of the right vertical half of Shiva and left vertical half of Vishnu. The image holds in its right hand, the attributes of Shiva and in the left hand, those of Vishnu.
According to a Hindu legend, a demon named Guha (or Guhasura) once lived in these parts and a considerable surrounding region, from Uchchangi Durga in the east, Govinahalu in the south, Mudanur in the west and Airani in the north was under his control.
Shree Umiya Dham Hindu Temple in Edison, NJ vandalized with “Free Palestine” graffiti. CoHNA strongly condemns this & stands with the temple in demanding that the perpetrators be brought to swift justice! Happened yesterday, when…1/n
…the Indian American community held a "March for Unity" event with several organizations participating. Unfortunately, in this peaceful event, bigots and racists like Pieter Friedrich intruded, trying to paint the community as extremist and intolerant. 2/n
But, why “Free Palestine” on a Hindu temple? #Hinduphobic narrative peddled by “academics” portrays Hindus as “colonizers” of Kashmir and draws false parallels with Palestine. The recent bulldozer controversy in Edison, NJ also provides fodder to push hatred against Hindus. 3/n

During the construction of the Mukutmanipur dam, this idol was found while digging the Earth. It is an evidence of Jain religion flourishing in this area. There are many stone idols there & people strongly believe that some of the idols are Jain deities.

However this is developed as a #Hindu temple and revered by locals. Many people come here to celebrate ‘Maha Shivratri’ festival. People do come here to see the mesmerising Sunset.

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.
We’re going to be posting pictures from our first batch of Anveṣi’s Karnataka chapter in this thread!

Many know where Bengal’s bravest son, #SubhasChandraBose - Netaji – lived in #Calcutta, as he famously escaped house arrest from his home at Elgin Road, in 1940. But not many know where Netaji’s ancestral home or ‘Desh-er-bari’ is. 1/10
Now called ‘Subhasgram’ in honour of #Netaji, it is just 25 km south of #Kolkata, in a village formerly known as Kodalia. Simple and elegant, the two-storey homestead is being restored. 2/10

Among Netaji’s ancestors was Mahipati Bose, who was granted a jagir by the Sultan of #Bengal, Hussain Shah, near the Bose ancestral home in the early 16th century. His grandson Gopinath Bose was also granted a jagir in Purandarpur, named after his title ‘Purandar Khan’. 3/10
A Delhi Court is hearing a plea against an order which dismissed a plea seeking restoration of Hindu temples at the Qutub Minar complex in the capital
Advocate Hari Shankar Jain is arguing. He is submitting before the court that the right to worship requires looking into and any public order which says otherwise is in the teeth of it #qutabminar
Judge: What is the purpose of the Places of Worship Act 1991.
Hari Shankar Jain is arguing, the Judge however asks one of the persons present there, “Mr. Ali, you cannot record these proceedings”. He asks him to delete them

On the banks of Vennar River, in the districts of Thanjavur, lies a small village called Kallaperumbur, home to two temples of antiquity - Brihannayaki Sametha Kailasanathar (A Shiva Temple) and the Varadaraja Perumal (A Vishnu Temple). (1/6)
With the inscriptions found in the dilapidated gopuram of the Shiva Temple (Image 2), we can trace back this temple to the period of Kulottunga Chola of the 12th /13th century. (2/6)
The Temple is a vast complex with sanctums for the Parivara Daivatas including Nruthi, Vinayagar, Subhramnaya and a separate sanctum outside the main complex for the Goddess. A small niche on the outer walls of the Maha Mandapa has a sculpture of Natraja and Parvati. (3/6)

#MadrasHighCourt issues notice in plea against HR&CE 2020 Rules in so far it allows “fit persons” (appointed in the absence of temple trustees) to select archakas to #HinduTemples. Petitioner argues that archakas not trained in agamas relevant to temples may be thereby appointed

Mannarpolur Azhagu Mallari Krishnaswami Temple Mannarpolur is a small village on the banks of ‘Kalindi’ river near Sullurpeta in Nellore District of Andhra Pradesh. There is a very ancient temple in this village, which is almost a sleepy little village. Once upon a time, this
must have been an important village, certainly far more important than Sullurpeta which must have been of a fairly recent origin. The basis for saying that Mannarpolur must have been an important village is the fact that this temple is believed to date back to the 10th century
and is the only important temple in a radius of about 40 kms. There is no other important temple apart from this temple until Srikalahasti in Chittor District or till Nellore.
The temple itself has many unusual features. The main shrine has Lord Krishna with Satyabhama and
