Last Saturday of  Pratasi month is auspicious day for Hindus, particularly Vainavas. They used to go various
Perumal koils (temple). Such a way we also visited each temple on every saturday in Pratasi ; and decided to
go Nambi malai & Thirukurungudi. The aera is belonged to forest department and allowed in particular times. Jeep only can climb up the path and hired jeeps available there.

At last after 3 hours in the rough path

for 4 km away we reached the temple in the forest. There is a long queue for dharsen; we had

2 hours to wait & ender into the temple. But the authorities of temple made a neat arrengement.

From that place we enjoy the foot of the hill and nearby towns.

 

At foot of the hill our car as waited with driver, and we were proceeding to Thirukurungudi temple.
On our return, I captured the hill atmosphere in my camera. We stepped down reached the main
temple and worshiped the Perumals in standing, sitting and lying positions.

In the far most Mahaendrakiri is seen, front of it the Nambi malai is seen.The Thirukurungudi temple
has many beautiful sculptures please to see. Number of visiters used to visit for that purpose only,
including many foreigners.  Description of some sculptures in a seperate blog, in the next one.
