One of my friend Mr Muthu Arunachalam requested me
to visit Padiri Shiva Temple, in which he contributed for the
reconstruction and Kumbhabhishekam. Also requested me to create a web
site 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.
