But I got a direct bus to Pudukkottai instated of Trichy, which started at 8.05pm and reached at pudukkottai at
3.50am on 25/02/2012. There I took a lodge just opposite to the bus stand to
bath and keep my luggage they charged me Rs.400.00. From there I took a bus to
Tirupattur around 4.50am reached Tirupattur around 50 Kilometers reached at
Tirupattur around 6.10am from Tirupattur I took another local bus to
Tirukostiyur which is 14 Kilometers from Tirupattur, and reached Tirukostiyur
at 6.40am, but the Temple was opened at 7.30am and I had a very excellent
dharasan, and back from here I took a bus which came from sivagangai to trichy
and I got down at Tirumayam, in which there are two temples on of SIVAN and
other of VISHNU both the temples a must see place ATLEST once in LIFE TIME,
again I had a very excellent dharasan. From Tirumayam I came back to
Pudukkottai vacated my room and started back to Trichy. These above 2 Temples comes under Madurai.
Reached Trichy at around 12.45pm on 25/02/2012 at the
Central Bus Stand, from here I went to Chattram Bus Stand where this is the
Central place for local buses. I was searching from Room for more than one
hour, and finally I got a small box room, which was ok because I at least got
room. You know the rent I paid was Rs.200. After got settled in Trichy I went
for Lunch at Hotel Maays – Geethanjalli Restaurant where the Lunch was good but
costly. After Finishing my Lunch I started my Trichy 6 Divya Desam Trip
First I want see the Temples
which are long from where I stayed because I want spent more time at SriRangam Temple (it happened as I Wished).
First I went to Thiru Anbil – Sri Vadivazhagiya
Nambi Perumal
Temple
For
this I took a from Chattram Bus Stand, Bus No.93 I think this bus was going to
Lalgudi(I do not know) it was about 35 to 40 Kilometers from here, and took
around 45 minutes to reach this temple (by asking where to get down, where to
get down to guys and college girls who where travelling with me. At last a college
girl told me get down the next stop where she got down. Reached around 3.50pm,
from bus stop I got down I took the first left to reach this again I had a very
excellent dharasan. From here I asked the Iyer that how to reach to Tirupper Nagar Temple.
He Showed me the way in which I was able to save at least Half Day.
Second I went to Thirupper Nagar – Sri Appakkudathaan
Perumal Temple
He
asked to cross the Kallani River which was about 3 Kilometer across in which
with water at a height of my hip level, then crossed the 2 level of road crossing and then reached the main road
which was coming from Kallani to going to (I do not known) I reached temple at
around 5.15pm I Temple was very very
again I had a very excellent dharasan. That Iyer did even care about the
guys who where taking the photos of Perumal very busy in getting money in
(Dashanni), to be frankly speaking first I do not want to take photo but my
mobile did not listen to me and took 2 beautiful photos.
From here started my problem which is I did not get direct
bus to Chattram Bus Stand, because of Kallani which buses towards trichy did
not cross the Kallani they stopped on the both side of the Kallani, one has go
by walk to the other end to get the buses. (If I would been by Car or so, we can
cross the Kallani, it is a one way traffic) so it was to late and tried when I
Chattram Bus Stand at around 7.50pm. I went back to the same hotel Hotel Maays
– Geethanjalli Restaurant had my dinner and went back to lodge at 8.50pm.
Third I went to Thirukkarambanoor – Sri Purushothaman
Perumal Temple
This is
also called as Uttamar Kovil, for this from Chattram Bus Stand I took 36B bus at
around 6.05am it is about 12 kilometers from here, and reached at around
7.00am, where the temple was yet to be opened, and the temple was opened at
7.30am the highlight first the cow was brought before the perumal the first
pooja was been made to this cow and then only they are starting other poojas
and others are allowed into the temple. A must see this procedure which I saw
and I had a very excellent dharasan.
Fourth I went to Thirukkozhi – Sri Azhagiya
Manavala Perumal
Temple
This
temple is at Uraiyur, where from Chattram Bus Stand I took bus no.9 at around
8.30am and reached at round 8.40am I saw the dharasan only from outside only
the perumal was excellent (the perumal was in standing position).
Fifth I went to Thiruvellarai – Sri Pundarikashan
Perumal Temple
This Temple is about 26
Kilometers towards Thuraiyur, from Chattram Bus Stand I took bus no.27 at around
9.45am this is a huge temple the perumal was excellent and again I saw a
excellent Dharasan.
Sixth the No.1 Divya Desaam the Best Thiruvarangam (Sri
Rangam) – Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple
For
this temple after seeing Thiruvellarai I came to Thiruvanaikavaal, from there I
took Bus No.1 to reach Sri Rangam at 11.45am, what a temple, how big, how
excellent, how majestic, very super, In this temple when you cross one by one
gopuram each has a long area of shops and houses in each. It took nearly 2
hours to see all other temples inside 1000 kal mandapam, chakratha allavar,
Lakshmi thaiyar temple, paramapadha vassal, and there were huge crowed in all
queue of free dharasan, Rs.50 dharasan there was another queue which I saw was
Rs.250 (mainly I spent because I want see perumal with no disturb and freely).
The basic idea begin this is if you start early you see more
temple in a single day and using the local service of the buses to its best.
I actually enjoyed reading through this posting.Many thanks.
