Padmanabhapuram is the former capital of the erstwhile Travancore kingdom. After 1790, the capital was shifted to Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. A magnificent wooden palace of the 16th century. The palace was constructed around 1601 AD by Iravi Varma Kulasekhara Perumal who ruled Venad between 1592 and 1609. Though the palace is situated in Kanyakumari district of Tamilnadu State, it comes under the Government of Kerala's administration.</div>

Thai Kottaram also known as Darbhakkulangara Kottaram. The Thaikottaram is the oldest palace amongst the Padmanabhapuram palace complex. It was built during the reign of Ravi Varma Kulasekhara Perumal (AD 1592-1610). It was constructed in the traditional 'Nalukettu' style. The 'Ekantamandapam' the open varandah in this palace contains the 'Kannithoonu' a ceiling supporting pillar in one piece between base and capital carved with artistic affluence. Built of jack fruit tree wood it has the most exquisite carvings one will ever see. Carvings have been done in the ethnic Kerala style. The ritualistic 'Kalameshuthu', and other ceremonies for the appeasement of goddesses were done in this prayer hall. The flooring of the hall which has withstood time attracts special attention. A tunnel route connecting the Thaikottaram with the Charottukkottaram situated over one kilometer away starts near the courtyard. It was used in times of war/danger to the royal family.</div>

Rameswaram/Rameshwaram is a temple town located in Rameswaram (Pamban) Island in Ramanathapuram district of Tamilnadu in INDIA. Rameswaram is connected with Indian mainland by a century old (Opened in 1914) Pamban road and rail sea bridge. It was India’s first and longest (2065 metres) Sea Bridge before Bandra-Worli sea link. The rail bridge is double leaf bascule bridge, which can be raised to pass ships and boats under the bridge. India’s former President Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam belongs to Rameswaram. India’s tallest (323 metres) television transmission tower is located here and it was owned by Doordarsan (National television broadcaster of India). Talaimannar (North western point of Srilanka) is 30km away from Dhanushkodi (South eastern tip of Rameswaram Island).</div>

Rameswaram is one of the four holiest places (char dhams) of the Hindus along with Badrinath, Puri and Dwaraka. Rameswaram and its surrounding places are related to the epic Ramayana. According to Ramayana, Rama built a bridge between Dhanushkodi and Talaimannar to Srilanka to save his wife Sita from by killing the abductor Ravana. After this incident Rama prayed here to Lord Shiva to absolve the sins that he might have occurred during the war against Ravana in Srilanka. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
We have heard about Marathon Race. Marathon runners used to cross 45 kilometers, but here the Siva devotees are crossing about 90 kilometers (ie. distance of 2 marathon race). Why do the people do like this? What is Sivalaya Ottam? Yes. There are many stories behind this, but I believe in this story that, once Lord Siva gave a Varam to choondodharan that the person who point out by Asura will be becomes ash. So the choondodharan wished to practice with Siva. To escape from the choondodharan, Lord Siva ran to these twelve places; (B) Thirumala, (C) Thikkurichy, (D) Thirpparappu, (E) Thirunanthikarai, (F) Ponmanai, (G) Pannipagam, (H) Kalkulam, (I) Melancode, (J) Thiruvidaicode, (K) Thiruvithamcode, (L) Thirupanniyodu and (M) Thirunattalam in erstwhile Kingdom of Travancore, now in Kanyakumari District of Tamilnadu. Lord Krishna saved Siva from Asura. Later people built temples in all these 12 places for Siva. But here the people are not running like Siva, but they are running for Siva.</div>

For this spiritual running people are preparing themselves for few days before like fasting etc. On the day of spiritual running, they wear saffron coloured cloths, having a small bag for collecting viboothi from temples and a hand fan. Since Lord Siva was so tried, people use this hand fan to serve him. Actually the people have to finish this spiritual running within a day by their plain foots (without wearing any sandals), but nowadays most of the people are not following these rules, but there are some people still follow these rules. While the people run they say this slogan as “Govinda Gopala Gopala Govinda”, because while Lord Siva was running he called Lord Krishna to save him like this.<br />
<br />
In this year’s Sivalaya Ottam we also took part.<br />
<br />
<b>Thirumala Mahadevar Temple, Munchira - 1st Sivalayam </b>(Lat. 8.286053, Lon. 77.174752)<br />
We started our journey at 5am from Marthandam to the first temple Munchira Thirumala Mahadevar Temple. For that we followed the the way Vettumany, Kappukad and Munchira. Still we reached the temple; we have no idea about the occasion. There was a big crowd in the temple. The temple located on the top of a rock. We have to wait more than 1 hr to reach inside the temple. From there we move to next temple at Thikkurissi.<br />
<br />
Route<br />
Marthandam-Vettumany-Kappukad-Munchira : 7 KM <br />

<b>Thirparappu Mahadevar Temple - 3rd Sivalayam</b> (Lat. 8.392087, Lon. 77.259622)<br />
On the way of Chitharal junction, we saw the entrance of famous Chitharal Rock cut Temple and Jain Monument. After reaching the Chitharal junction, there are two routes to Thirparappu, Arumanai-Kaliyal-Thirpparappu and Attor-Thiruvattar-Kulasekharam-Thirpparappu. We choose the first way and turn left from Chithral junction. We saw a lot of temporary sign boards installed by local organizations to guide devotees to next temples. So there was no confusion for the devotees to reach particular temple. After traveling almost 12.5 KM from Thikkurissi we reached the Thirparappu Temple. The temple located in the bank of Kodaiyar River and close to the famous Thirpparappu water falls. We couldn’t spend more time in the temple because we have to go 9 more temples. Then we followed the way to next temple Thirunanthikarai.<br />

<b>Thirunattalam Sankaranarayanan Temple, Nattalam - 12th Sivalayam</b> (Lat. 8.274406, Lon. 77.233498)<br />
Finally we reached to our finishinh point at Nattalam junction after travelling 5 KM. The police restricted to enter vehicles near the temple. So we walked about a km from the junction to temple. There too many local vendors were seen in both the sides of roads. They were selling sweets, vegetables and toys. In thirunattalam there are two temples, one for Lord Siva and another for Lord Krishna. Both the temples are located either side of the temple pond. First we went to Siva temple and after that Krishna Temple. Devotees were taking bath the temple before the darshan. After the darshan we spend more time in the temple. We purchased vegetables and other items from the local vendors. We saw the satisfaction and tiredness both in their faces. Now time is about 5.30pm. <br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Last week to spent our holidays we visited the place Thirparappu/Thriparappu (Malayalam: തൃപ്പരപ്പ്, Tamil: திற்பரப்பு). It is famous for a great waterfall and a sivalaya temple. Commonly the waterfall of Thirparappu is known as ‘Kumari Kuttalam’ (Kuttalam is a famous waterfalls in south India, Kumari itself Kanayakumari). We knew only that much information when we started the journey.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We started our journey from Trivandrum through Marthandam, Kulasekharam via Thirparappu. When we reached the place Thirparappu junction we had the confusion because the main road is splitting into two. Right side road had the bus service and the other not. Which way we are suppose to choose to reach Thirparappu. To avoid the confusion there is a arch in the left side road to direct the people to waterfall. We sent our vehicle through left side. Commonly the waterfalls may not be found in habited area. But here we traveled through the residential area. Within few minutes we reached the spot and parked the vehicle in the parking area.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
By the side of the road we could find a channel. Other side a board invited us to Thirparappu Mahadevar Temple. It is the third Sivalyam of Kayakumari Sivalaya temples. We went to the temple. The environment of the temple was so peace. Truly our mind will get relax if we go there. Stone made the temple and it resembles Kerala Architecture. The temple was build by Raja Raja Cholan. Here the God is Lord Mahadevar (Siva). That day was the special day of the God. So the special pooja was going on the temple. So would find the crowd. The main occasion of this temple is Sivarathri. After few minutes we came out and followed the way to the waterfall.<br />

We paid the entrance fee, also they charged for camera. Then we moved to the waterfall through the steps. Both the sides of the steps were many plants and tress and the plants were decorated with different beautiful shapes. By enjoying the beauty of the plants again we followed way of waterfall. Now we are in the waterfall. ‘Wow’ what a beautiful place and scenery. People were taking bath in the waterfall. An excursion team from a school also was there in the waterfall. Since for men and women separate places are there to take bath. There were no chances for immoral activities. After taking bath we went to the children’s park, which is maintained by Thirparappu Panchayath. There was a swimming pool near by the waterfall and we have to pay if we go to the swimming pool.<br />

This waterfall is on Kothayar/Kodayar River (which is originated from Kodayar Lake created by Pechipparai Dam). Then we went nearby the riverside. Since it was summer season a little amount of water seen in the river. So we tried to cross the river in the shortcut way. There were many rocks in the river. In the river there was a Mandapam. So we stayed here and there and enjoyed the nature. Many more colourful fishes were swimming in the river.<br />

There was a lake in the river, which was formed by a check dam. Between the river and lake there was a bridge to across them. In the lake we could find the boating service. We traveled through the bridge and reached the other side of the river. There was a beautiful garden and a children’s park, which were maintained by Kadayal Town Panchayath. Children were playing in the park. Since it was summer season many ice cream sellers were there. We had some ice cream to get relief from the hot. To make more beautiful our journey we had boating also. Like that we spent half of a day in our journey in Thirparappu. By getting some things from the shops we return.<br />

It is very good place for one day trip with family. Here the bus service is not frequent, so better arranging a vehicle. We hope since the palace is very famous, the Govt. authorities can make some more developments and facilities for public.</div>

On the visit of our relative’s house, one evening we went to a temple, which was Aruvikkarai Bhahavathy Temple (Malayalam: തിരുവട്ടാര് അരുവിക്കര, Tamil: திருவட்டார் அருவிக்கரை). It is between the places Thiruvattar and Mathoor. Till we reached the temple, we were no any idea about the temple or the place. When we reached the place, what to say? Really we excited. What a wonderful place it was! Either we didn’t plan this trip; we would have missed this wonderful place. Because it was a small village and not much popular area, only because of the temple people used to visit here, that too local people. </div>

First we went to the temple. It was an old temple. Here they worship the Godess Bhagavathy Amman and Saptha Kanyakamar (Seven ). The temple located down from the land level and it’s on the rocks and it was encircled with walls. We went inside the temple and prayed the God few minutes and came around the temple. That time we saw a stone in a different shape. We asked the temple priest about it. He told that, in olden days people used to scratch the sandalwoods here to make sandal. Now the sandal is getting readymade. He was telling that olden days scratching were a very good exercise for their body. </div>

Then we saw a door on the walls and it was closed. We requested the sweeper to open the door. Happily she opened the door. When she opened the door we saw the real treasure of that place. Wow, amazing! What a beautiful place! Just a minute we became stilled. Because we saw a scene that a river was flowing, jumping, dancing over the rocks. Really it was a great treat for our eyes. We stood more time there and took some beautiful photos also. By thanking the sweeper and temple priest we came out from the temple.</div>

There is a check dam across the river Paraliyar. Water was flowing over the check dam to the rocks like a waterfall. Since it was summer season, the water level was very less in the river. So the people were using the check dam to move edge to other edge. When the water level increases in the river people cannot walk through the check dam. Many houses were locating both the sides of the river and people were using the check dam were taking bath in the river itself. </div>

Next our aim was to Vizhinjam (Malayalam: വിഴിഞ്ഞം ). Now the time is about 1pm. Since it was a sunny day, we were very thirsty. So we approached a small bakery and had soft drinks and snacks and enquired the shopkeeper about Vizhinjam Harbour. Again we drove back to Kovalam Junction, and turn right towards Vizhinjam. After completing 3km (16km from Trivandrum city), we reached Vizhinjam KSRTC bus depot junction and asked a shopkeeper about the way to Vizhinjam Fishing Harbour. He directed us to a small road which is just opposite of KSRTC bus depot.</div>
<br />
On the way of harbour we could see the small fishing materials shops on both the sides. When traveled less than one kilometer, we reached the harbour. <br />

If we describe about the harbour, it is a natural harbour. Also the International ship route is close to the harbour. Because of these reasons Govt. has planed the International Transshipment Terminal here.</div>

In the harbour we saw many fishing boats. Near by the harbour itself we could see a church and a mosque. Here we have to think about the unity of religion.</div>

Next our journey was to Vizhinjam Lighthouse. For that we came back to Vizhinjam junction and followed way of Trivandrum. After passing few distance, turned left from the main road. Like that we reached to Lighthouse. Since it was afternoon, we didn’t get permission to go inside the Lighthouse. Actually the time allotted for the public visiting is 4pm. This lighthouse can be seen from Kovalam Beach also.</div>

Near by the lighthouse there is a beach, we spent few time there also. We felt it is a beautiful calm and pleasant place. It is a very good place to visit. If you wish to visit this place, I wish a good luck.<br />

I am much interested to say about one of my favorite places Chitharal Rock Cut Temple or Chitharal Malai Kovil (ചിതറാല് പാറ കോവില് in Malayalam, சிதறால் மலை கோவில் in Tamil). I have more things to share with you about it. I came to know about this place by my wife. She was a teacher of Excel Central School, Thiruvattar. As a study trip she has taken her students to this place. According to her information my self and colleague planned to have a trip on Sunday here. Actually we planned to start at 6am, because of some reasons we became late. So we started our journey at 7.30am from Thiruvananathapuram.
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
There are many ways to reach here. We selected the way Marthandam-Attoor. From Marthandam we sent our vehicle to Kulasekharam road. When we traveled 4 km, we reached Attoor junction. From there turn left to go to Chitharal. Again we traveled 2km to Chitharal junction. Locally this temple is known as ‘Malai Kovil’. We traveled about one more kilometer from the junction. It was a remote area. </div>

When we reached the place there was an arch to invite us. We parked the vehicle in the parking area and started to walk to the temple. There were so many steps to climb. Now time is 9am, sun started to attack us. Both the sides of the way they planted different kinds of plants and many trees, that too medicinal value plants and trees. Also we could find more cashew-nut trees. Since there were many trees we walked in the fresh and cool breeze.

In a single walk we can’t reach to the temple. On the way often we took rest and also taken some snaps of the beauty of nature. I think, nearly 25 minutes we walked through the steps and reached the temple. Anyway the way is very cruel.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Here the specialty goes to the rocks. Because, here rocks seems like somebody has taken risk to keep the rock over another rock. Also the rocks are very huge.</div>

There was an information board on the way to temple, from that we came to know that recently the temple has been brought under the Archeological Survey of India, and the researches are going on about the place and temple.</div>

From there we turn left to another rock. From the top of the hill if you see around you can enjoy the real beauty of the nature. Also from there we can see the Marthandam town in a side and the part of Thiruvattar on other.</div>

The way is between two huge rocks, and it is very small and short. We have to go one by one through the way also we cannot go straight, we have to bent our body to pass the way. In the first sight we thought, can we go by this way? Because the way was just like a tunnel.</div>

After passing the way immediately few small stone steps. When we cross the steps, we will come to the left side of the temple. In the wall (that to made by rock) We found the Sri Mahavir and his student's sculpture.

Actually this is a Bhagavathy temple. But how does Mahavir connected with this ? We asked our doubt to the guard. He told us, “To spread fine religion among the people, Mahavir’s students came here and made this temple in the rock. But the people were not ready to change. So this place and temple were unknown to the people. So they kept Bhagavathy idol here to attract the people to temple. After that it became famous. Presently, everyday morning and evening pooja is going on here. Many people used come here to pray”.

After getting this information we followed the way. Again few small steps were there to get down. When we got down, we saw that, the rock has been cut in different shape to build some thing, but it was incomplete, that too fine to see. Then we went to the temple. </div>

Now the temple is under the control of Devasom Board. We got permission to go inside the temple. We entered through main door. Inside of temple there are 3 rooms. In the middle room Goddess Bhagavathy’s idol and the other two rooms were empty. But still pooja is going on all three rooms. Inside the temple itself many stone pillars were there. Few minutes we stayed in the temple.

In front of the temple there is a pond with so many fishes. It is a fresh water pond, but it looks like dirty water. Because, the people used to put the plastic and other waste into the pond. So the pond is polluted. It is very bad. We must know it’s our duty to protect our nature and surrounding.

Near by this, in the bottom of the rock there is another one rock named as Urunchi Paarai (sucking rock). The local people say that, there is a hole in the rock. When we fix our nose in the hole and suck, water will come out by the hole. But the particular shape of the nose only will support to get the water. Since the way was very danger, we didn’t go there. Whether it is true or not we didn’t try.

Really it is a beautiful and wonderful place to visit. Now it is time to go back. But we don’t have mind to leave the place. We were very thirsty. We didn’t take water or food with us. So we left the place. According to my view, the place is very beautiful and enjoyable. But not safe and little dangerous. No proper facility for the tourist people, even local people are also very less for any help. So if anybody have the plan to visit this place, please go with a group or family with proper planning. Better don’t choose the sunny time as well as sunny season. You must be much aware of children.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to my colleague’s suggestion, we planned to have a trip on Vizhinjam, where the Kerala Government has planned to construct International Transshipment Terminal. On the way of Vizhinjam, we planned to visit Kovalam Beach also. Kovalam is just 13km away from Thiruvananthapuram city on the way to Vizhinjam. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At 10’o clock we started our journey from East Fort (City Bus Station of Thiruvananthapuram) by two wheeler. There are many ways to Kovalam, we have chosen the way of Manacaud-Thiruvallam via kovalam.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At Thiruvallam, we saw Parasurama Temple, which is the only temple of Parasurama in Kerala. The temple located in the banks of Karamana River. It is famous for ‘Bali Tharpanam’ (People makes offering to their ancestors, after holy dip in the river). Karkkidaka Vavu is the main festival of the temple. On that day people from various parts of Kerala and Tamilnadu used to come and make ‘Bali Tharpanam’. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Again we followed the way, suddenly we saw a crowd with some police officers in distance on the road. So we slowed our vehicle. Then we reached near by them, after that only we come to know that, the vehicle checking was going on. It was our fate that we had the helmet. So we continued our journey. After reaching few kilometers, we saw an information board about Kovalam beach. From there we took right to Kovalam beach.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the way of beach, we saw a pond. Actually the pond was formed by a quarry. It was rice to see. We took some snaps of the pond. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kovalam beach lies on Arabian Sea. It is one of the International beaches in Kerala. Now we are in Kovalam beach. There are three beaches in Kovalam, namely Samudra (also known as Ashoka beach), Howah and Light house beach. First we went to Samudra beach. We parked our vehicle near by road. Specialty of this beach is fully covered with coconut trees and its quite common place where the fishes living. You can find a mosque (Kovalam Juma Masjid) also near by the beach. There is a road aside the beach reaches to the mosque. We stayed few minutes and enjoyed the nature and took some snaps. But till then, we couldn’t find more tourists. So the place was calm. Since it as sunny day we were very thirsty, after having cool drinks, we came back from there.</div>

Then we went to other two beaches. We parked our vehicle in the parking area and we move to the beaches. Now we are in the middle of the beaches. There are many shops, restaurants, internet cafes etc in the beach. First we moved to howah beach. Sands of the Kovalam beaches are dark in colour due to presents of minerals. We could find many rocks in the sea and waves were dashing on the rock and spreading the water. Really it was wonderful. Here the place is just opposite of Samudra beach because there were many tourists from different countries. They were taking bath in the sea and also taking sun bath. Tourist guides are there to guide the people.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then we went to Light house beach. This is also just like the howah beach but the only difference is the Light house. So it had the name Light house beach. Here the light house is located on the rock. We can go to the light house in the prescribed timing. Since we sent at noon time, didn’t get permission to go. We spent few minutes in the beach, bought some goods and we turn back to <a href="http://krishnasepages.blogspot.com/2012/01/vizhinjam-harbour.html">Vizhinjam</a>.<br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
In connected with the marriage function after the <a href="http://krishnasepages.blogspot.com/2010/12/poovar-pozhikkara-lake-and-beach.html">pozhikkara</a> visit, we visited Aazhimala Beach. (Also known as Azhimala). It is in the road of Poovar-Vizhinjam-Kovalam-Thiruvananthapuram. We started our journey through this way in the place of pulinkudi, there was an arch to direct us to Aazhimala, we turned our vehicles there.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
The road reached in front of Aazhimala Siva Temple. While the maintenance was going on in the temple we couldn’t collect more information about the temple. So we moved to the beach. Beach lies in Arabian sea.</div>
<br />

</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
By seeing the nature of the place itself we can understand the meaning of Aazhimala (Aazhi -> sea + mala -> rock ). On our observation instead of sea shore, we could find the huge rocks.</div>

Since the rocks were more up and downs, we felt very danger. Along with that the sun also irritating us more. But we thought of taking challenge to come around the place. In some places at groove of the rock, we saw the shells growing in that place.<br />

Another amazing thing in Aazimala is, the waves are dashing on the rocks and spreading the water, really it is a wonderful scene. All our cameras clicked that. Since it was too hot, so we could n’t stay there. To get relief from the hot we went to a farm which was near by the rock, with full of trees. We took rest few minutes.</div>

We had a marriage function at Poovar on Sunday. Since it was a holiday, we planned to visit some places near by Poovar. After the marriage function, we enquired to some people to know the places which are comfortable to visit. According to that, they suggested the places Pozhikkara(Pozhikara) and Aazhimala.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
By 1'o clock, we started our journey from Poovar. Including children, we were 12 people traveled in the cars. We sent our vehicles to Pozhikkara. It is about 1km in Poovar-Vizhinjam-Kovalam-Thiruvananthapuram road and about 30km away from Thiruvananthapuram City. We traveled through the fisher colony. With in 10 minutes we reached the spot. The smooth breeze inspired us to get down from the vehicle, but the sun was chasing us to go back. But we did not have the mind to go back. We started to the sea shore by caring umbrellas.</div>

At the first view it self we could find a lake in a side and the Arabian Sea in the other side. A sandbank was separating both. Because of the reason the place was named as pozhikkara. The specialty of this place is during the rainy season the sandbank breaks and the lake and sea join together. Because of the sunny season we did not have the fate to enjoy that.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now we move towards the lake. It is long and broad lake, which is formed by Neyyar river. At the bank of the lake we could find the different kinds of mangrove plants. The lake was too peace. To disturb that, we stepped on it. Oh ! The water was so cool. We stayed few minutes in the water and small fishes were swimming near by us. Children tried to catch the fishes. Like that we were enjoyed the nature. On the other side of the lake, there was a resort and a boat was taking people from the resort to come around the places.</div>

We planned to move towards the sea that time a man comes there with a basket and hook (choonda in Malayalam). Again we stayed to watch the man. He put the hook into the lake, with in few minutes a fish hooked in the hook. Like that he caught different fishes from there. We take some snaps from there and through the hot sand, we moved to the sea shore.</div>

But the sea was just opposite of the lake; it was ready to attack us. We stayed few minutes in the sea shore and children played in the water. Since it was too hot we left Pozhikkara and drove our vehicles to the next spot <a href="http://krishnasepages.blogspot.com/2011/01/aazhimala-temple-and-beach.html">Aazhimala beach</a>.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mathur Aqueduct (Mathoor Thottipalam) is one of the tallest as well as longest aqueducts in Asia. It located about 3 kms away from Thiruvattar in Kanyakumari district of Tamil Nadu. You can reach here through Thiruvattar and Kalladimamoodu (near Kulasekharam)</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We have chosen the way of Kalladimamoodu. When we reached Kalladimamoodu there was an information board to direct us to reach Mathur. We started our journey through a narrow road. It was a parallel road to the channel. On the way we got another chance to see the rubber plantation just like <a href="http://krishnasepages.blogspot.com/2010/09/thirunanthikarai.html">Thirunanthikarai</a> and <a href="http://krishnasepages.blogspot.com/2010/10/thiruvattar.html">Thiruvattar</a>. In between we could find the different sizes and shapes of rocks at the side of the road. Just we were enjoying that, suddenly we anxious on seeing a big rock! It looks like that the rock is about to fall to the channel. We didn't leave; we took a snap of the rock.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Again we followed the way. On the way there was an arch to invite us to Mathur aqueduct.</div>
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now we have reached near the aqueduct. There were to many vehicles. We parked our small vehicle near by them. A person came to collect the parking fee.<br />
<br />

</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now we are walking towards the aqueduct. There were many tender coconut, pineapple and snacks sellers. We bought some pineapple pieces from them. It was very tasty. Now we are in aqueduct. Representatives asked us to pay for camera.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the entrance of the aqueduct we could find an information board. With the help of the board and the local people we collected the following information.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<br />
The former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mr.K. Kamaraj</span> has built this aqueduct in the year of 1969. Aim of this aqueduct was drought relief and development of agriculture in Vilavancode and Kalkulam Taluk. It has been built across the river Parallaiyar, which is originating from Mahendrahiri hills of Western Ghats. The aqueduct itself carries water of <span style="font-weight: bold;">Pattanamkaal</span> channel over the river Prallaiyar.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tqreNezWLhs/UGqaaFetVVI/AAAAAAAAC_8/znVx_5i_P-s/s1600/krishnasepages.blogspot.com_MathurAqueduct06.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tqreNezWLhs/UGqaaFetVVI/AAAAAAAAC_8/znVx_5i_P-s/s400/krishnasepages.blogspot.com_MathurAqueduct06.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It stands on 28 huge pillars with the maximum height of 101ft. The length of the aqueduct is 1240 ft. The depth and width of the trough (Channel) is 7ft and 7.6ft respectively. Half of this trough is closed with concrete slabs to allow the people to walk. Nearly 12.90 lakhs of rupees spent for this aqueduct during the period of construction. Steps and children's parks have been built recently by district administration.<br />

</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now we started to move on the aqueduct. In first sight itself we lost our confident to walk on that.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6DGn-NP9Xhw/UGqasyIPAlI/AAAAAAAADAg/nP0IBsRnJF0/s1600/krishnasepages.blogspot.com_MathurAqueduct09_LongView.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6DGn-NP9Xhw/UGqasyIPAlI/AAAAAAAADAg/nP0IBsRnJF0/s400/krishnasepages.blogspot.com_MathurAqueduct09_LongView.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
</div>
<br />
But the pleasant scenery and the nice breeze were recharging courage to us. Some how we reached in the middle of the aqueduct, then just we looked down; oh! How to say? It was awful! Even the people look like small. From this we can guess the height of this aqueduct. Really we felt dizzy. We were trying to escape from there. We joined our hands strongly.<br />

From the spot we got amazing information from the local people that a man named Joshuva walked through the handrail (left side of aqueduct - see the following picture) of the aqueduct with 100kgs of weight in the year of 1995. We couldn't believe it. Really it is appreciable.</div>

From the aqueduct we can see the parallaiyar with border of Western Ghats. In fact we enjoyed the nature.</div>

We are happy to introduce the small village Thiruvattar (Tamil: திருவட்டார், Malayalam: തിരുവട്ടാര് ). It is located in Kanyakumari District of Tamilnadu, in between the towns of Marthandam and Kulasekharam. It is about 6 kilometer from Marthandam. Here the most important thing to say is the name of the place, Thiru (sacred) + vatt (surrounded) + aru (river). The two main rivers <span style="font-weight: bold;">Parallaiyar</span> (which is originating from Mahendragiri) and <span style="font-weight: bold;">Kothaiyar</span> (which originating from Kothaiyar lake) surrounded the village and giving the name.</div>

Since it is watery place, the mud will be always wet, so main occupation of this village is Brick making. Also we can find the coconut, banana and rubber plantations.<br />

Here the important place to introduce is <span style="font-weight: bold;">Sri Adikesavaperumal temple</span>, is one of the 108 holy Vishnu temples (105 located in India, 1 in Nepal and 2 in the non physical world). Architecture of this temple is Kerala Style. This temple is older than the Sri Padamanabhaswamy temple in Trivandrum. The architecture and style of this temple has been followed by Sri Padamanabhaswamy temple in Trivandrum. Compared to Sri Padmanabhaswamy temple in Trivandrum this temple is small. Differences between two temples are, in Sri Padmanabhaswamy temple Trivandrum Lord Vishnu facing towards east and in Sri Adikesavaperumal temple towards west. In this temple status of Lord Vishnu is made up of Kaduku (mustard), chippi (lime powder) and sarkara (jaggery). Sculptures and mural paintings of this temple are amazing. Really we have to appreciate the sculptors those who designed the temple.</div>

In the moment of tour on Kanyakumari District we went to Kanyakumari, Padmanabhapuram Palace, Mathoor Thottipalam, Thirparappu water falls and Pechipparai. On the way of Pechiparai we came to know about the village Thirunanthikarai (Thirunandikarai). So we planned to visit that village.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thirunanthikarai (Tamil: திருனந்திகரை, Malayalam: തിരുനന്തികര) is small village which is located in between the town Kulasekharam and Pechipparai. When we entered, there a pond was ready to invite us with fresh and cool air with full of water andlotus and lily flowers. Many small fishes were swimming in the pond. There are different kinds of trees like rubbers, coconut, banana, mango, jackfruit, gua surrounded the pond and different types of birds are waiting on the trees to catch the fish. Really it was pleasant to see. To know more about this pond and village we met two grand fathers one Mr. Madhavan Pillai and Mr. Madhavan Nair. With smiling face they said that the name of the pond is <span style="font-style: italic;">Nedunkulam</span>. Water level of neighbouring wells are depending this pond. One of the water sources of this pond is the channel which is coming from the Pechipparai Dam. When we looked around we could see another one remarkable thing that the village is bordered with rocks.<br />

We asked the persons to say more about the village. They continued, here is a famous Lord Siva temple, peedavilai mutharamman temple nearby a vaishnava temple and a church also. In the junction, there is a library named as Netaji Memorial Library. We went to the library and there are many newspapers, magazines and books in Tamil, Malayalam and English languages. Children, middle age people even old people are engaged in reading. We understood that the people of this village are not illiterate. In the library we met Mr. Sasikumar who is the member of Tamil Nadu Science Forum.<br />

We received more information from him. He accompanied us to another one hall there it was written as “Kurinchi Kalai Kuzhu (Kurinchi Arts Club)”. Inside the room different types of materials like chalanga, thapppu, kol stick, kumbakodam such type of folk art materials. We asked him that why did you given the name Kurinchi for this arts club. He answered that in olden days the land of Tamil Nadu was divided in to five parts like Kurinchi, Mullai, Marutham, Neithal and Palai. Among this the meaning of the Kurinchi is “the land which is surrounded with rocks”. Since our village is surrounded with rocks we selected this name. Again he continued about the Arts Club. During the holidays the children used to come here and some creative activities will be going on like creating drama, discussions, quiz competition, craft works, folk arts and modern games and olden games. Among the children they are trying to develop other extra curricular activities and stay back the olden cultures also with the help of other people. There is a Mutharamman temple. During the festival season they are giving the cultural programmes as Kurinchi Show from the year 1993 onwards. Really they are doing a great service for the society. By that time some children came there, Mr. Sasikumar introduced them. With Mr. Sasikumar and group we started to come around the village.</div>

Few years back many kinds of trees were there. Since the people are getting more gain from the rubber they have cut most of other trees and planting rubber. By getting the fresh air we reached near the temple. It is a small and beautiful temple which situated in the middle of the village. Near by that there is Vaishnava temple also. Both temples are just like the neighbours. After few distance there is a church. Actually there we could see the unity of the people.<br />

Now it’s time for lunch. Our stomach started to disturb us. They have arranged food for us in a house. We went to that house. There we met Mr. Murugan and Mrs. Vasantha Murugan. He is a musician (Harmonist) also he is running a classical music class in his house and going for outdoor music programs also. Both they treated us happily. Mrs.Vasantha Murugan served the tasty village food for us. We took rest for few minutes in his house and enjoyed the music class of Mr. Murugan.</div>

Around 3’o clock with the same group again we started our journey to visit Lord Siva Temple which is 500 metres away from the junction. We started travel on the main road which is reaching to Pechiparai. Across the road we saw the channel which is taking water from Pechiparai Dam to different areas of Kanyakumari District. Bank of the channel there are many houses. According to Mr. Sasikumar around 2000 houses are there in the village. From the road we turned left to the Siva Temple. Now we are in the ground of Siva Temple. Wow! What a beautiful place! There Mr. Sasikumar introduced two persons who are working in the temple Mr. Velu Kutty and Mr. Neelambaran. From those persons we got more information about the temple. Among the 12 Sivalaya Temples this is the 4th temple. This temple is built by King Rajarajachola. Temple is made by stones. The temple is based on Kerala architecture. There is pond (theertha kulam) near by the temple to take water for pooja and a nandavam (garden) with varieties of plants and trees, flowers and fruits. Mr. Velukutty and Mr. Neelambaran told the history of the temple. There is a statue of a bull which is placed in front Lord Siva. But here the people believe that the bull came from the rock (which is nearby the temple) to this temple and itself took place in front of the Lord Siva. The sign of bull’s rope still there on the rock. When it came to this temple it was so small, now it’s very big. So people believe that the bull is growing day by day. These are the beliefs of the people. For this bull in their language they used to say ‘Nanthi’, because of this reason village has been named as Thiru-nanthi-karai. During the time of Sivarathri, every year from the day of Sivarathri to continuously 10 days the festival is going on here with different cultural programmes.<br />

Then we moved to Rock-cut cave temple is near by Siva Temple. Means the temple is made by making hole in the rock. On the way of rock cut temple both the sides are covered with rubber trees. Now we are under the rock. It is a very huge rock. We thought we cannot climb on the rock. But what a surprise! Some people are standing on the top of the rock. We asked Mr. Sasikumar that how they could go there. He smiled and told there is slope way at right side of this rock to climb. We followed Mr. Sasikumar. We struggled a lot till reach the top of the rock. We felt tired. Others they ran through that way. After reaching the top of the rock what a surprise? We got the fresh and cool air. We felt that we are in the sea shore. From the top of this rock we could find many rocks around this. All those rocks were filled with trees, plants, grasses etc., but in this rock we couldn’t find even a grass anywhere. Here is a stream we drank the tasty water. From here if we look down we cannot see the village but we can enjoy the thick greenish leaves and branches of trees which is look like the roof of the village. We have ever seen like that.</div>

We stayed there for a long time. By showing another one rock they told that recently the farmers of this village found there is a sculpture of the great Tamil Poet Thiruvalluvar. The history says that Thiruvalluvar born here in this village. So the research is going on here about that. We relaxed for a long time in the pleasant and fresh situation. Some monkeys accompanied with us to entertain. Then we came back to the rock-cut temple. Since it is controlled by Archaeological Survey of India, we didn’t get the permission to take the photos inside. <br />

After few hours we went back to the village and we visited the Thirunanthikarai Government High School. Schools are quite common everywhere. But this school has a speciality. You may think what will be the speciality? Yes, our former ISRO Chairman Dr. G. Madhavan Nair got his primary education from this school. And his Tharavadu also near by the school only. Most of the children of this village are studying here. The famous tourist places such as Pechiparai Dam, Thirparappu water falls, <a href="http://krishnasepages.blogspot.com/2010/11/mathur-aqueduct.html">Mathoor Thotti Palam</a> (one of the Asia’s biggest aqueduct), <a href="http://krishnasepages.blogspot.com/2010/10/thiruvattar.html">Thiruvattar</a> Adhikesava Temple (same like Padmanabha Swamy Temple, Thiruvananthapuram), <a href="http://krishnasepages.blogspot.com/2011/06/chitharal-rock-cut-temple-jain-monument.html">Chitharal Rock-cut Temple</a> are located around this village. In fact Thirunanthikarai is an interesting and amazing.<br />
