Another vacation overlap and this time we decided to make it an annual visit to our family deity temple near Trichy. But like the saying goes " Man proposes, god disposes"....we could'nt make it to our deity temple as it is open only on Mondays and Fridays. Instead, we reversed our travel itinerary and set out to check off some things from our "to do" list.
So on saraswati puja day, from chennai after brunch we started off to Karaikudi on NH 45. After a couple of tea breaks and a stop over at the husband's alma mater near Trichy, we reached Karaikudi at 8.30 completing the journey in 8 hours.
The next day morning began with an auspicious start to Pillayarpatti, the abode of Karpaga vinayagar( Lord Ganesh ) and then there was no hindrance or looking back on the travel....everything went as we had proposed and we went ticking off pillayarpatti, Athangudi mansion, Athangudi tile making process and we even managed to see some places which were not on our itinerary and the tick off continued to the last day of my travel back to my city.
Here are a few pictures, although I must confess I was not comfortable handling the features of my new phone and so could not click pictures at many places where I wanted to.
The wooden ceiling at Athangudi mansion
The hand crafted athangudi tile in the making....one of its kind in the world.
Will record the important travel detail after putting things in order of priority.
