Travel Diary

Indian Temple Architecture is a class of itself...

Tiruchendur is one of the six Aarupadai veedu shrines of Murugan, enshrining Senthilandavar. It has been venerated by the Tamil Sangam Period work Tirumurugatruppadai and by 83 Tiruppugazh hymns of Arunagirinathar. It is one of the most visited shrines in Tamilnadu, and is located on the seashore in the southern part of the state near Tirunelveli and Kanyakumari.

I along with my friends went to this place when we were doing our MTech in REC, Trichy. Here you see from right are Ashok, Saravana Vel, Myself, Senthil, David and Siva.

Skanda - also known as Murugan, Kartikeya, Subramanya is one of the most revered deities in the southern state of Tamilnadu. It is even said that the name Murugan is synonymous to the world Tamil.

You see from right Saravana Vel, Myself and Senthil in front of the Skanda Temple... the irony is that all our names are the names of lord skanda.

This shrine is situated on the seashore, bounded on the north and the east by the sea.
