Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 SrI: Dear Bob, Nice to know you from SrI. V.Sadagopan svami of Newyork, and your services being rendered to SrI venkateshwara perumal temple (Arora?). http://www.pbase.com/svami/image/57240692 A few months back when SrI. Sridhar sent this collection of rare pictures, aDiyEn raised the same doubt. He checked this with SrI. M.N.Srinivasan (who has access to many temples, and is a writer on temples), who inturn confirmed that this divyadampathi is Sri LakshmihayagrIva. There might be some reasons for this! As this is an interesting question, let us pose this to the residents of Medavakkam (or Chennai), or those who visited this temple. Thanks a lot!
