After we had bath at five falls, we took an auto and reached the temple.We though it was a weekend we were the only people there.There was a single guy taking care of the entire temple and was giving us strict instructions not to take picture nor carry mobiles.Raj, worried somebody will take his woodlands slippers told us he will stay outside,finally he found a safe place to hide it from anyone's eyes and then joined us.
There were beautiful paintings all around the place depicting stories like Meenakshi kalyanam,tiruvilayadal etc. It was sad to see that most of the painting were damaged by some people scribbling their name or their girl friend's name. There were other paintings which got faded away fighting with the time. It would be great if government takes steps to renovate those stuffs.
Once we came outside we relaxed at the temples pond , it was not a pond even though it was a rainy season the place was dry.Raj and Padma tried ventured inside the pond and climbed into the inner sanctrum.Its easier to go up but getting down is difficult. They got struck there for sometime and got down with great difficulty.

Superb paintings preserved for so many years. While we are there a decade back we are allowed to take pics and took a lot and while we went last year told the person the same but he refused saying it'll spoil. After that, he said he's writing a book, showed us his writings and took great pain in xplaining the story behind the formation of chitirai sabai. some character he is :)
didnt talk with him much as we were more noisy and boistorous ;)
but I dont see anypoint in stopping us from taking pictures
