Chidambaram

Chidambaram is also known as Thillai, since the place was originally a forest of the thillai, botanically known as excecaria agallecha shrubs. It is an important pilgrim centre and a holy place for Saivites as the famous Nataraja Temple is located here.

Dedicated to Lord Nataraja, this ancient temple of the Cholas is unique not only it is devoted solely to the art of Bharatanatyam, but also it is one of the rare temples where Shiva is represented by an idol rather than the customary lingam. Spread over an area of 40 acres with a gopuram on each side, the temple is distinguished by five sabhas or courts.

The eastern gopuram is 40.8 m. high and carved on it are the 108 dance poses of Bharatanatyam. The western tower has also similar carvings while the northern tower that soars to a height of 42.4 m. is the tallest.

The idol of Nataraja is installed in the kanakasabha, the roof of which is covered with gold Plates. The icon is a stunning piece of sculpture that evokes a sense of continuous movement.


Though non-Hindus are not allowed inside the sanctum sanctorum, replicas of this idol are easily available in most handicraft emporia and shops selling art and curio objects.

A shrine to Govindaraja or Lord Vishnu lies adjacent to the main shrine and has a beautiful idol of the lord reclining on Adisesha, the serpent. There are two other shrines, one dedicated to Subramanya and the other to Ganesha. In the courtyard, a large Nandi looks on devotedly at its lord and master through an aperture on the wall.

ABOUT CHENNAI

This metropolis is often called the cultural capital of India for its deep-rooted traditions and long heritage. Chennai is a city younger than its image. More than any other city in India, it is a true reflection of this country’s diversity.  In a time span of just over 350 years, Chennai has blossomed into a charming city that has a large heart and is very welcoming. It is city that encourages all forms of development, both modern technology and the traditional arts and crafts, and it embraces a series of paradoxes. It was in 1639 that Francis Day and Andrew Cogan, agents for the English East India Company, acquired a strip of land on lease from the Vijayanagar King.  They built the Fort St.George, which remains of the city’s important landmarks and serves as the Government Secretariat today.  It was built to set up a factory that served as a nucleus for British settlements that began to be formed.  Surrounding villages like Triplicane, Purasawalkam, Egmore and Chetput slowly merged with the new developments, to form Chennapatnam, as it was known.  The city was called Madras till 1996 and then renamed Chennai.  Today this buoyant metropolis is a blend of the old and the new, the traditional and the modern.

Spread over 200 square kilometres with the Bay of Bengal on the east, the city is the gateway to the rest of South India. There are verdant green patches found amidst the high-tech, high-rise buildings.

With a population of around six million, it is India’s fourth largest city.  From before days of Independence to present , the people of Chennai have played an important role in shaping the country’s political destiny.

Chennai’s Pride Chennai’s newest pride is the Tidel Park, the home for the Information Technology Industry. It is spread over 1.28 million sq.ft. of built up area. The Tidel Park is an architectural marvel and houses several large national and international software companies in its premises. The City of Grace And Peace.

 ஊட்டி,:.ஆண்டுதோறும் ஏப்ரல் மற்றும் மே மாதங்களில் ஊட்டியில் நிலவும் குளு குளு சீசனை அனுபவிக்க ஏராளமான சுற்றுலா பயணிகள் வருவது வழக்கம். தொடர்ந்து மே மாத இறுதியில் பருவமழை துவங்கும். மழை காரணமாக குளிரின் தாக்கம் அதிகமாக இருக்கும். இதனால் ஊட்டிக்கு வரும் சுற்றுலா பயணிகளின் எண்ணிக்கை முற்றிலும் குறைந்து விடும். இந்நிலையில் இந்தாண்டு மே மாத இறுதியில் துவங்க வேண்டிய பருவமழை துவங்கவில்லை. மாறாக ஜூன் இரண்டாவது வாரத்தில் தான் மழை துவங்கியது. இருப்பினும் மழை தொடர்ச்சியாக பெய்யவில்லை. இதனால் ஊட்டி வரும் சுற்றுலா பயணிகளின் எண்ணிக்கை குறையாமல் அதிகரித்து காணப்பட்டது.

இந்நிலையில், கடந்த சில நாட்களாக ஊட்டியில் குளிர்ந்த காற்றுடன் இதமான காலநிலை நிலவி வருகிறது. இதனால் சுற்றுலா பயணிகள் ஊட்டிக்கு வந்த வண்ணம் உள்ளனர். தாவரவியல் பூங்கா, ரோஜா பூங்கா, படகு இல்லத்திலும் சுற்றுலா பயணிகள் கூட்டம் அதிகமாக காணப்பட்டது. இதே போல் தொட்டபெட்டாவில் சுற்றுலா பயணிகள் கூட்டம் அதிகரித்துள்ளது. தொட்டபெட்டாவில் உள்ள நுண்ணோக்கி மூலம் பார்வையிட சுற்றுலா பயணிகள் அதிக ஆர்வம் காட்டி வருகின்றனர்.
