Sister's home - House warming - By Hindu Rituals...

According to Hindu Rituals for the house warming it beleived that to make Ganapathi homam first before start functioning the life in New home...

We used to have homam (which refers to any ritual in which making offerings into a consecrated fire is the primary action) at early morning normally before sunset that too on the auspicious day and by the well paracticed person...

The day we selected to make that pooja was the birthday of Lord Ganapathi.. So it was very hard to find one person to make that pooja....

We all went to bed only at 1 am early morning and we supposed to get ready on the same day at 3 am... We had hardly one hour to sleep.... We could not take good rest...

Some photos for you from Ganapathi Homam....

In this occasion only my sisters family and their parents have participated...

One of the formalities is to give some money as a gift.. Here my parents giving money to my sister and brother in law..

And other formality is to boil the milk first at home... that supposed to be the first activity should be done beofre starting any work in new home..

Here my sister was boiling the milk and my mother and my sisters mother in law were helping her..

We were ready to shift all the things and ready to organise her home...

Srirangam- My favorite temple..

I was very happy to visit my favorite temple in Srirangam...... We planned to attend the wake up pooja of Lord " Narayana" at early morning.... It was amazing that elephant calls the lord to wake up.....

We were bit scared to stand near the elephant.. Even then we were very much satisfied to see that pooja...

This is the elephant wakes up the god...

The gopuram of the temple is called the Rajagopuram and is 236 feet (72 m) tall, the tallest in Asia. Myth has it that the coast of Sri Lanka can be seen from the top of the gopuram.

Srirangam claims to be the biggest functioning Hindu temple in the world.

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.
