"സുപ്രഭാതം ----- Good Morning My Friends... starting with Navaraatri Festival..." "ഓം സരസ്വതീ നമോസ്തുതേ" ========================== "വെള്ളപ്പളുങ്കു നിറമൊത്ത വിദഗ്ധ രൂപീ കള്ളംകളഞ്ഞു കമലത്തിലെഴുന്നവണ്ണം വെള്ളത്തിലെ തിരകൾ തള്ളിവരും കണക്കെ- ന്ന്നുള്ളത്തിൽവന്നു വിളയാടീടുക സരസ്വതി നീ " ========================================= [കുട്ടിക്കാലത്ത് ഞാനും സഹോദരന്മാരും സഹോദരിമാരും ഒക്കെ വെളുപ്പിനെ (2 മണി) കുളിയും കഴിഞ്ഞു 6 - 7 കിലോമീറ്ററോളം നടന്നു പനച്ചിക്കാട്ടു സരസ്വതി ക്ഷേത്രത്തിൽപോയി വിജയ ദശമി തൊഴുന്നത് ഇപ്പോഴും മനസ്സിൽ നിന്നും മായുന്നില്ല...] PANACHIKKADU SARASWATHI TEMPLE ========================== Panachikkadu Temple is dedicated to the Goddess Saraswati, situated in Panachikkad in Kottayam, Kerala, India. It is also known as the Dakshina Mookambika (Mookambika of the South) Temple, as it is a Saraswati temple located in the southern region of the Indian peninsula. This is one of the most prominent Saraswati temples in Kerala. Vishnu is the main deity, whom the devotees worship before Saraswathi. Ganapathy, Shiva, Sasthavu and Yakshi are sub-deities who are also worshiped in this temple. Two things specially to be noticed here are the creepers and the immaculate spring. The leaves of the creepers which cover the idol are considered Saraswathy Leaves. The water comes from the spring here flows touching the feet of the “Devi” never dries even in the peak time of summer. Since the devi remains on such a “Saras” (small rivulet) the name saraswathy becomes meaningful. The water required for poojas and other needs are taken from the spring. No well or other water sources are available here. Above the saraswathy temple on the western side there is a natural habitat made of exotic plants and their fragrant flowers. [How to reach: In the Main Central Road( MC Road), between Kottayam and Changanassery, there is a small village called Chingavanam. Travelling 4 kilometers east from Changavanam one can reach the temple situated in an idyllic and beautiful place.]
