Idaikattur is the place where Siddhar Idaikattar lived and set the
Navagrahas - the pattern followed by later temples...a small temple stands testimony to this important event in the history of temple architecture.
The countryside surrounding the village is green and yet rustic. The place is home to various bird species like
kauthari, kadai, maina, karichan kuruvi, etc...

முன்னே ஊர் சுத்தினது இப்ப உதவுது இல்லையா...? எது எப்படியோ உன் கேமரா கண்ணில் பட்டது அழகாய் தெரிவதில் ஆச்சரியமில்லை...

A landscape very different from ours.
ReplyDeleteWhen it is green here it is green all over = grass, plants and trees.
The other colors are white in winter and then the blue sea....
Only now for a month or so, when the snow has melted, and before the grass has grown up it is brownish = Beige.
