My uncle called up yesterday asking me to visit our Kula Deivam (Family God) temple and pray for dads quick recovery… Immediately planed the travel and I also thought of visiting Vaitheeswaran Kovil too which is some 20KM from our native Chidambaram…
Day before travel was very hectic, slept late and had to wake up early to pick my wife… My mom wanted me to start by 6AM but we started our drive by 7.30…
Originally planned to going to Kula Deivam temple by 10.30 AM finish the darshan by 11 AM and the goto Vaitheeswaran Kovil by noon finish POOJA there and return back to Chennai by 1 o clock…
But we couldn’t go as per our plan as we were able to reach china bharar only by 11.45 for unexpected delays and we altered red the plan…
– Stopped at Porur Jalagandesswar templa to get assorted flowers… Got only rose…
– Stopped at Guduvancherry to get assorted flowers…
– Filled petrol at MaraiMalai Nagar…
– There was a small commotion at Dhindivanam toll and will blog separately about it…
– Travelled thru Vikravandi, Panrutti, Neyveli, Vadalur and Bhuvanagiri… Roads were bad with lots of potholes…
– It was 12 and we went to Vaitheeswaran Kovil as it will b closed by 1 PM and temple will be opened only by 6 PM…
– Reached Vaitheeswaran Kovil by 12.30PM and we finished doing archanai for 5 main gods…
– Finished our lunch with temple prasadams Coriander Rice, Sugar Pongal and Curd Rice with some Murukku…
– Immediately proceeded to Kula Deivam temple…
– Reached temple by 2.30 PM and had good darshan…
– Enjoyed the beauty of our village, the breeze and the harvest…
– Started to drive back to Chennai…
Overall had good darahans, prayed for my dad and Spent to spend some time for my wife….
Also must thank my wife who travelled non-stop for 20 hours, for giving company, giving moral support and finally for the Badam milk she sponsored….
