One of my friends Mr Muthu Arunachalam requested me
to visit Padiri Shiva Temple, in which he contributed to the reconstruction and Kumbhabhishekam. Also requested me to create a website for this temple. Since I am not a web designer, thought of creating a web
blog in Google. On 4th September 2016, visited the Village.
