On 20th of Feb, we both started at 6 in the morning for sanctifying ourselves by the visit of the temple in Madhurai.We had a short break in the middle for breakfast and then proceeded towards our destination without any break again. We reached there by 12.30 and relaxed ourselves for some time in the hotel. Most of the temples in Tamilnadu generally have an afternoon break and will be reopened in the evening time. So at 4PM, we went to temple and it took us around 2 hours to cover the entire temple. The temple is really gigantic and one feels proud to be a part of the country that has got such great architectural skills. The idol of Goddess Meenakshi is seen in dim lighting but we felt lucky to have a peaceful darshan for a considerable time. Even the darshan of Shiva linga, God Sundareshwar, was excellent and heart-filling. The temple has got five entry gates,one in each direction and the 5th being the simhadwara on the east side. One can enter the temple from any side of the above. The beauty of the temple is far out of reach of the camera lens. One has to just drink its glory with eyes. After finishing the mandir visit, we went to the Tirumala nayak Palace. The beauty of the palace can be seen only in the sound and light show organized every evening there in the palace. In that show, the complete story of the king Tirumala nayak is described in a film without picture(only sound and lights). We returned to our hotel with great glimpses to be remembered for ever
The next day too, we started at 6 in the morning to give a visit to the temple in Srivilliputhur. The temple complex here is again very big where one has to get the darshan of Vatapatra sayi and Andal Amman. Here we had the darshan of Lord Vishnu in the middle of the sudardshan Chakra and Lord Yoga Narasimha one on each side of the same idol. The Kova here is very famous so we purchased that and headed towards Bangalore with a lunch break at Adayar Anand Bhavan on the way. We were back at home by 4.30 in the evening with a long day remaining to relax ourselves after a long drive to a great place.
Over all, the roads to reach these places were simply superb and an average driver can go ahead at a constant speed of 120 on the entire stretch.
