Sree Kanteswaram and Sree Bramhakulangara Temple

Sree Kanteswaram Temple

Sree Kanteswaram, as the name suggests, is an ancient SHIVA temple and is located almost 2 km down to west from Sree Koodalmanikyam Temple. SHIVARATHRI is the main festival being celebrated annually by an elected committee of nearby residents with the Co-operation of the people in and around Kanteswaram. Kanteswaram is located within the jurisdiction of Irinjalakuda Municipality. The present committee is doing their job to the utmost satisfaction of the devotees by providing them the required amenities. Aspectual growth in number of devotees shows the attitude of the committee towards the temple administration.

Sree Bramhakulangara Temple

Sree Bramhakulangara Sree Krishna Temple is an ancient Sree Krishna Temple situated approximately 400 meters west of Sree Kanteswaram under the same committee of Sree Kanteswaram Temple. Sree Krishna Janmashtami is the main festival celebrated by the temple that signifies the birth of lord Krishna, the 09th incarnation - POORNA PUNYA AVATHARAM -  of the almighty god Vishnu. During the festival, the Co-operation of the people, from all walks of life, from around the temple is to be appreciated for their like-mindedness. The pond, Bramhakulam from which the name of the temple, Bramhakulangara, has been derived, located at the west is an added beauty of divinity for the devotees, which was once used by the devotees to bathe before entering into the temple.

About my home town

I am an Indian, hailing from Irinjalakuda  and Irinjalakuda, mythologically known as NANDI/ SAMGAMA GRAMAM, which is  one of the first few municipalities in Kerala State, right from the formation of the state under the sovereignty of democratic INDIA. Geographically Kerala is situated in the extreme south of India. The state has a vast area of sea shore which it shares with Arabian Sea.

Irinjalakuda has a divine history in Hindu mythology like all other Indian states. We have a temple of Lord Bharatha, (said to be the one and only temple of lord BHARATHA) which was once respected and considered as the cultural and commercial capital of Irinjalakuda and was once the richest. Many of our forefathers contributed their lives to scientific inventions that are ranging from all branches of science to culture and art. The essence and spirit of Irinjalakuda is not complete if referred it without respecting the grate personalities like Unnayi Warrier, Ammannur Madhava Chakyar, Thruppekkulam Achutha Marar. Kavi Narayana Menon, K. V. Ramanathan... 

Legendary play back singer Sri. P. Jayachandran, our joy and pride, is a blessed play back singer, having with an inimitable rendering style, has his name etched in the history of South Indian filmdom especially in Malayalam Cinema.

Regret and Hoping to be excused for any missing and my humble "pranamam" for those great personalities who walked ahead of us to make our path clear and comfortable.

PHOTOGRAPHY IS MY PASSION

a day without sun...

Although it was cloudy right from the morning, I decided to call people for cleaning the surroundings of my house. I heard a call from one of them saying, "we have found a snake that is highly dangerous and venomous" they were telling this as I was approaching them. They told me, "we have to kill it as we fear it would be a threat to people". I told them, "don't kill anything you find from this premises even if it is a rat, you please let them go unharmed". Both of them were staring at me with a smirk on their face that they have found a fool in real...
