When I went to Thirukalukundram,
Sri Bakthavachaleswarar temple, two weeks before, the temple authorities gave me
an invitation to the Kumbhabhishekam, which is scheduled on 15-09-2013. I am
not a frequent visitor to the temples on Kumbhabhishekam day, fearing the rush.
For this I made up my mind to be present at Thirukalukundram on Kumbhabhishekam
day. There was lot of devotees gathered inside the temple, even from far off
places too.
On reaching the
temple I selected a spot, where I could see the maximum Rajagopuras and
Vimanas, especially Moolavar vimanam, on the east side. Really it was very
interesting to watch the holy water was poured on the kalasams
of Vimanas and Rajagopuras at the same time by lot of Sivachariyars, amids of the chanting of "Om Namasivaya" and the
Thirukkayilaya vathyam played by one section of devotees. Now I feel that
I had lost many opportunities like this. Any way I will try to
attend in future for the kumbhabhishekam. Really it was worth to
visit to the temple. Thanks to Lord Shiva for given me this
wonderful opportunity.
