Jaya Jaya Sankara Hara Sankara,

First let Adiyen express my immense happiness on the support showed by Sri Periyava Bhakthas for our appeal on this Maha Kshethram Kumabishkeam posted a few days back. Thanks, gratitude, etc. are probably not the right words betweeen Periyava Aathma Bandhus; one is thing is for sure, one gets immense satisfaction and fulfillment when we all come together without any expectations for a great cause such as this. Shri S Ravisankar, our Sri Matam Annabisheka committee member has provided the latest update below along with pictures and news paper clipping on where we are with this temple’s Maha Kumbabhishekam.
