We were on pilgrimage to Trichy on 26-28 Dec.2014, with family and children. Even though I visited this temple some 28-30 years ago, this time everything changed - the crowd, shopping around the temple, traffic, and so on. I could not recognise the area at all.So much happened between my last visit and now. I am totally awe - struck. Due to heavy rush of pilgrims, that too on Saturday 27th Dec 2014 evening @ 6.45 PM, we were forced to opt for Rs.100.00 special Dharshan tickets. It is worth paying,since the arrangement to meet such a crowd, was well done by authorities.

This Saturday, I did not expect this rush, but due to Lord Iyappan festival, many devotees visited this temple also on Saturday, I was told.
