A slight detour from my current travel series..!
I happened to visit the Kumbhabhishekam of a nearby Murugan temple Viz. Kumaran Kunram
Click here for details given by wikipedia about this temple.
There was a large number of turn-out of people from the nearby locale that one could only see a sea of heads for a distance on the street overlooking the temple.
I was carrying a camera that had a long zoom and could get closer to the gopuram. In fact almost I scanned every inch of that gopuram.. ! Thought , you will like the dash of sparkling color of the newly painted statues.
The function was in the morning and I also returned to the temple in the evening to get a closer look. Luckily I was allowed to use the camera in yaga-Shala.These pictures are at the end.

I went and clicked a few pictures at 8am in the morning,

But the function was at 10:30am am and I went back and returned at 10 am. This is where I could get a place to stand. !
I started zooming into the Gopuram..!
 |
This is at the uppermost tier .. quite at the top..! |
 |
At last , I found somebody who would capture me in his camera..! (lol) |
 |
The crowd has started returning now..It took a while for the crowd to clear..! |
Some photos taken in relatively close quarters at 8 AM.
The following are the pictures of Yaga Shala where the rituals took place in the morning

Approaching Yaga Shala ..! Though dimly lit and dark , I just wanted to capture the ambiance..! |

Spiritual discourse by Kanchi Sage..As usual I seek your pardon for the large number of photos..! |
