Or some prayer?<br /><br />""If Lord Tripurantakeshwara blesses my hands and feet on Saturday night, I will have your divine sight. Father, I will perform Kesari decoration, offer betel leaf worship, and place the tulabhara of Bilva leaves on Lord Sri Rama.""Nikhilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18102728977317167099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6917273566237443741.post-21277795862752438482023-11-29T05:07:47.466+05:302023-11-29T05:07:47.466+05:30ಸ್ವಾಮಿ ತ್ರಿಪುರಾಂತಕೇಶ್ವರ ಶನಿವಾರ ರಾತ್ರಿಯೊಳಗೆ ನನ್ನ ಕ...ಸ್ವಾಮಿ ತ್ರಿಪುರಾಂತಕೇಶ್ವರ ಶನಿವಾರ ರಾತ್ರಿಯೊಳಗೆ ನನ್ನ ಕೈ ಕಾಲಿಗೆ ಶಕ್ತಿ ನೀಡಿದರೆ ನಿನ್ನಯ ದರ್ಶನ ಪಡೆದು, ಕೆಸರಿ ಅಲಂಕಾರ ಮಾಡಿಸಿ, ಎಲೆಪೂಜೆ ಸೇವೆ ಸಲ್ಲಿಸಿ, ಬಾಳೆಹಣ್ಣಿನ ತುಲಾಭಾರ ಹರಕೆ ಹಾಕಿಸುವೆ ತಂದೆ, ಶ್ರೀರಾಮನ ಮೇಲಾಣೆ.manjunathahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00989828245805741009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6917273566237443741.post-38915441223336174182023-09-08T19:34:08.093+05:302023-09-08T19:34:08.093+05:30A decade ago i was unaware of the term balustrade ...A decade ago i was unaware of the term balustrade i.e. the decorative walls flanking temple steps. This is one of the most beautiful balustrades I've seen.<br /><br />Made a note to check out Brihabigeshwara temple. Our country has so many ancient temples, a life time may not be sufficient to see all.siddeshwarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05202482098840760884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6917273566237443741.post-57812412063448987282023-09-08T12:44:00.643+05:302023-09-08T12:44:00.643+05:30The elephant and lion relief reminded me of the st...The elephant and lion relief reminded me of the steps of the Brihabigeshwara temple in Thanjavur.

I wish you had seen the lintel of the cell inside, and someone had opened the door for you to see it. The lintel has Shiva inside the Gaja (elephant) tearing it apart. It is a masterpiece. And the nandi (life size) is also far too real. I was able to see this cell only Nikhilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18102728977317167099noreply@blogger.com
