SRI KARANEESWARAR TEMPLE, SAIDAPET
Reached Karaneeswarar temple through Brahmin
Street and Karaneeswarar Koil street. On the way Mr Madhusudhanan told
that there are about 24 Vinayagar temples in Saidapet with different names like
Koothaadum Vinayagar, Karkada Vinayagar etc, He also pointed out the Sri
Gurulinga Swamigal Jeeva Samadhi, in which local people used to do pooja before
starting of any important functions in their homes.
During my earlier visit to
the Sri
Karaneeswarar Temple I could not get the full view of the
inscription dated 1887 AD and 1919 AD in the front mandapam, This time I
took photograph and up dated my web blog post on Sri Karaneeswarar Temple.
These two inscriptions speaks about the donations given to the temple for
regular functions and pooja. Also had seen Pattinathar and his guru
Pathragiriyar’s reliefs at the entrance of Rajagopuram, which are installed
during 1939 AD. The details also written in the facebook with
photographs.

SUB-URBAN RAILWAY STATION, SAIDAPET.
Our final destination was to the west side of the
Sub-Urban railway station, where Nalandaway Foundation students painted the
colourful graffiti of film personalities of Shivaji, Kamalahasan, Nagesh
etc., on the wall. It was an awesome view. After taking snaps we said good bye
to each other and hoping to meet in the next Heritage walk. The SUB-URBAN
Railway station was also posted in my facebook.
