The world's first complete granite temple - At night

This temple is one of India's most prized architectural sites. The temple stands amidst fortified walls that were probably added in the 16th century. The 'Vimana' - or the temple tower - is 216 ft (66 m) high (about 70 meters) and is among the tallest of its kind in the world.

The Kalash (apex structure on the top) of the temple is of monolithic granite weighing 81.25 tons. It is believed to have been conveyed to the top of the tower by means of a inclined plane commencing from Sarapallam , four miles north-east of the city.

Some photos of the Tanjur temple at night for you...

Famous typical dancing doll from Tanjur : when I was young I wanted to have one for me.. That time we felt bit expensive .. so I never had one..

Its a interesting dancing doll... It makes typical Indian classical dancing movements...

We were happy to visit this temple.. we all had good time and seen very interesting poojas..

Chance to meet only one friend ...

I could meet only one of my friends, Sumathi in coimbatore.. That too she came to my city to visit her father.. Otherwise I could not find chance to meet her.. I was really happy to meet her after four years I guess.. I went to her home in the morning and spend whole day.

Here I would like to mention about her.. I was working with her as a lecturer in an Engineering college.. Myself , Daisy (my best friend - living in Singapore) and Sumathi were very good friends.. For me Daisy and Sumathi are the role model.. They both are the confident Indian womens I have seen ...

I didn't meet Daisy for quite long years.. I really miss her a lot..

Here comes Sumathi & me..

Sumathi with her dog, Jambu...

She prepared very good vegetarian lunch for us.. We spoke a lot and had good fun.. I wish to meet her again before I leave India... Let me see...
