Temple Memories
The Dakshina Bharati population of Jaipur stand together in their desire to build a temple for Lord Ayyappa-Dharma Sasthaas He is commonly known. In their efforts to find land for translating this into action, they were fortunate in contacting the Nagar Samiti of Mahaveer Nagar, a suburb of Jaipur. A plot of land under the Nagar Samiti already had a Temple for Lord Shiva and the authorities very gladly offered this to the Shree Dharma Sastha Seva Samiti to build the Temple for Lord Ayyappa.
Panthrandu Vilakku
“Panthrandu vilakku” is being observed in temples with great fervour and enthusiasm to commemorate the ‘Ten Avatars of Lord Vishnu’. The first avatar was ‘Matsya’ or the ‘fish’ from the satya yuga. Lord Vishnu took the form of a fish. To save the earth from the Apocalypse, He took his boat to the new world along with one of every species of plant and animal. The second incarnation of Vishnu was Koorma or Tortoise.
