Hello Readers
Here is the continuation-
From the Coakers walk we went to the Kurinji Andavar temple, situated 3kms from the lake. This temple is the home of Lord Muruga, riding on a peacock. The shrine was built in 1936, by an European lady, who had adopted Hinduism and renamed herself as Lilavati Ramanathan.
In the temple compound, we saw a Kurinji plant, which was all dried up. There was a board nearby, on which it was announced that the flower had last bloomed in 2006 and the next blooming will be in year 2018, after 12 years. I wondered whether the dried up plant will really bloom again. There were not many tourists at this temple but much more shopkeepers around. The temple affords a fine view of Palani, the famous pilgrim center and Vaigai Dam.
Well after Kurinji temple, we went back to the hotel.. Before going to our rooms we decided to look around the hotel garden. There was a lawn with many flowers at the border and the space around the cottages. we enjoyed the beauty and the coolness lying on the lawn for a long time. Later we had our supper. We ended our day happily and returned to our rooms.
Coming up tomorrow- Pillar Rocks
B-bye
