Thennaangur - Temple View - Architectural Splendor


I really dont understand this colourful tying....!





This Thennaangur temple is an architectural splendor. The 120 feet tall Rajagopuram is built in the South Indian style and the sparkling golden kalasam itself is ten feet high. The 'vimana' above the sanctum sanctorum is designed like that of the Jagannath Temple at Puri in Orissa. The deities have been sculpted in a technique called sila which had its origin in Maharashtra. This temple also houses a few large pillared halls or mantaps. In one of these halls we can find fibreglass paintings of Lord Krishna and also some intricate carvings in fibreglass which cannot be found anywhere in India.

Hey really you dont understand why the colorful tying. Its all because of a faith, that people pray for something and would tie them.

You many also tie them with a confidence you must get married soon.
