OK. It has been a week since I have seen any reply on Sri H.H 
Vadikesari Azhagiya Manavala Jeeyar Swamy / Matam of Kancheepuram. I 
would like to share what I know about Swamy and the Matam.

Sri H.H. Vadikesari Azhagiya Manavala Jeeyar Swamy Matam is a 
Thennacharya Sampradaya Matam that is located on the Eastern side of 
the Varadaraja Perumal Temple. The "Kizhakku" gopuram which remains 
always closed, was actually built by one of the great Swamies in the 
Vadikesari Azhagiya Manavala Jeeyar Swamy parampara. I was blessed 
to visit the matam and I admired the location and the capacity of 
the matam. At the same time, the most unfortunate point is that most 
of the walls and the ceilings are heavily damaged and the matam 
seems to be unrecognized by most of the devotees. The present swamy 
of the matam, is staying at the matam all alone and does not even 
have a SriKaaryam - he cooks what he could and is managing 
everything himself. Such is the plight of the matam which is just 
behind the Temple gopuram.

Could someone who, is capable of bringing great hands and minds 
together, take up fixing the above mentioned issues and bring to 
lime-light the greatness of the matam?

I am adding the photos of the matam (the photos are not that great 
as it was raining when I went there and more over my mobile camera 
is almost pre-historical:)

Will submit better photos in a month.

adiyEn,
rAmAnuja dAsan.
