The Malai Arasi Amman Kovil, near my Thatha Home.
It has fabulous stories.
The tree cut in the Magendragiri mountains bleeds.
The tree cutters inform the Pangudi Pannaiyar about it. (He
is my Thatha's relative) The Pannaiyar says Dont worry cut
the tree and come and make it as my Uthiram. But that is a
wrong decision on his part. As per the Asari's saying the
Tree which gives blood while cutting it should not be sued
for home uthiram - beam. If done, it will cause bad omens.
Same happened. The oxen which brought the Tree died.
The Pannaiyar Family suffered a lot like suicides, money
losses, court cases etc. The Pannaiyar finally made this
Temple to appease the Gods. So this Temple still worshipped
bny the people, Maintained and owned by Radha Sounds, the
electricians of the Panagudi.

The Asari kadai. For 3 generations, this Asari Shop -
Goldsmith's shop functions at my Thatha's house front side
called "Vadakkarai".
Very less rent. Asari feels this shop as a lucky one. He got
Rs.10 Lakhs lucky lottery in Sikkim Lottery in 1987. The Old
Esakki Asari is no more. His son taken over now, after
studying Msc Agri |
The front entrance to AVM kayana mandapam. Here all the
Panagudiyans sit and chat till it is 10 pm, 11 pm. Just
passing or wasting the time?. But anyhow good wind is there
so the talk goes around tamil nadu politics all the time.
After 12 am the Police SI of the Panagudi makes a a round
around the village, he says people to go home and sleep.
After a friendly chat with the SI, the mob clears. |
windmills |
 |
 |
There are so many different types of windmills this is the
slimmest model. |
 |
Opposite our Thatha's House, this is Thiraviyam Pillai's
Santhana Illam, a Valavu stuyle compound. Go inside, you
will see lot of people, including the IT educated, Laptopped
- Reliance Internet man Bala - the Techno Bala!
I am sure he will be a bright star of IT soon.! |
The Windmills I saw at South Vallioor. |
Behind the windmill is our Panagudi Magendra giri Hills.
It is said, Superstar Rajnikanth's Movie Kali is taken here.
Especially the hills scenes. |
BSNL and Aircel Towers near my Thatha Home above Radha
Sound's homes. These towers along with the Windmills denote
the importance of Panagudi and the "Arrival" of Panagudi in
the 21st Century with Bon Bons!
May be it is a present example of our President APJ Abdul
Kalam's PURA concept?
[Provision of Urban Amenities at Rural Areas]
Vazhga nee emman!

Sun rise above AVM Kalayana mandapam, 16 Nov 2005
On the 1st birthday of Sanjay.
A brisk morning walk by my Chithappa above the AVM kalyana
mandapam is a must everyday to keep his health up. |
The South car Street as seen from top.
Also seen is the Mukku Kovil, a small pillaiar kovil where
my thatha used to be the iyer. |
Our mandapam top - we used to jump houses from one to
another at panagudi along this top floors of the houses.
These jumping houses also possible at METROs like New York.
See the James Bond or Jackie chan or spider man
movies, he jumps houses, business buildings tops.
It is a maja to do that! |
