PANACHIKKAD SARASWATHI TEMPLE

I have been there three times... with my father....i loved the early train journeys to kottayam....kottayam the language capital of kerala.....i just love that place...since dad had his graduation at kottayam he is very much addicted to this place..every time when the train reaches kottayam he will say.....from here the sand knows my life...my story....!!! 

What i like in kottayam is all about the houses there....typical christian houses.....beautifully maintained....neat gardens....we will take a bus from there...and need to walk for some time to reach the temple.....i will stand in front of all houses on d way and admire....i just loved what i did.....the perfectionism was always seen in kottayam

Panachikkad temple is also known as dakshina mookambika temple which is an important saraswathi temple in kerala - saraswathi the goddess of knowledge is worshiped here...no wonder why kottayam become the knowledge and  language capital of kerala. the legend behind the temple can be read here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panachikkadu_Temple and the official website of the temple is http://www.panachickad.org/php/panachi_LOC.php

I loved the pink coloured kumkum we got from temple....the pens i got blessed before i wrote my tenth exam...and of course the beautiful kottayam....

The flora and fauna of these temples ensure these will be maintained and i just love these greenery ...

Temples are the places of worship..and not a tourist place and we should maintain the divinity of those places.... 

Thanks for reading...
