Manakkula Vinayaka Temple/Pondicherry

[Guest guest]

The Manakkula Vinayaka temple in Pondicherry

The city of Pondicherry is well-known among hindu people for this famous temple,

where important pilgrimages and festivals are celebrated. Like in other places

of the Tamil Nadu region, for instance Chidambaram or Suchindram (among several

others), the main forms of Ganesha are painted on the walls or ceilings. In the

Manakula temple, they are walls. Those images show us an obviously interesting

panorama of the iconography related to this god. However, some minor

differences can occur when we compare those paintings with the "classical"

forms described in ancient scriptures. Other painted sceneries illustrate

legends related to god Ganesh, his exploits, his parents (to come later).
