Seed for this venture

It was in 2014 that Mr L Viswanathan and I  discussed about temples  not being  cared for  in many rural locations in and around Tirunelveli which we visit occasionally. One such temple is Narasimhar temple in Pallakkal near Rangasamudaram.

This temple is surrounded by green paddy fields but the temple area was used as an open toilet with thorn bushes providing a cover.

By the time we could discuss and decide on the course of action, we heard that some devotees from chennai have shown interest to renovate the temple and arrange daily pooja. Incidentally, we were told that Director cum Actor Visu's Kuladeivam is this Narasimhar.

The temple was renovated and painting done to give a new look as can be seen from the picture below.

Mr Adhi of Rangasamudaram was appointed to do daily pooja and during my visit to this temple early this year, I found that our wish to restart daily pooja in such temples  has been fulfilled even before we started  our effort to do so.

So we have started with a Success story and we took this as a direction by the Almighty to replicate this elsewhere and hence this venture "Temples for you". We solicit co-operation of all to make this a bigger success.
