Guest guest Posted July 10, 1997 Report Share Posted July 10, 1997 Dear Sri Sampath Rangarajan: It was great to read your account of Sri Uppiliappan Koil, one of the few temples with which I am familiar. I assume you will be continuing with Part 3 or other parts to cover the akaNda deepam, anga pradakshaNam etc. Even more than anga pradakshaNam, akaNda deepam is perhaps unique to Sri Uppiliappan Koil. I believe they also have a anns dAna program (free distribution of food) on all sravaNam days, where hundred of people gather in the prahArams to get the thayir sAdam. I believe for a meagre amount of less than $10 or $15, one can participate in this service. The taligai samarpaNam without salt (it is a delicacy to eat the puliyodharai from the temple), the offering of salt at the Garudan Sannidhi at the entrance, the dissolving of vellam in the pushkariNi, etc. come to my mind as part of the visit to Sri Uppiliappan Koil. I look forward to your next contribution on the temple. With Regards, -Dasan Krishnamacharyan >---------- > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
