Renovation and consecration - appeal
Karapangadu, a minuscule village
in Tanjore district is proud to have the famous temple of Sri Perundevi Thayar
consorted Sri Abhishta Varadaraja Swami (Sri Deva Perumal), a perfect replica
of Kancheepuram Sri Varadaraja Swami and his abode there.
This temple is
300 years old and daily poojas and festivals (Utsavams) take place in the
lines of Kancheepuram adhering to "Pancharatra" norms and
rules.
Karapangadu is the birth place of great scholars and pundits
like late Singaperumal Swami, Desika Varadachar Swami, Venakatachar
Swami, popularly known as Karapangadu Swami and Dr.Rangaramanuja Swami, a
devout exponent in Upanishads and Prabhandams.
Renovating the Rajagopuram,
vimanams, Sanctum Sanctorium, the halls of Ardh mandapam, Maha Mantap,
strengthening the rampart walls on all four sides, pre- consecration yagas,
yagnas and other rituals would cost around INR 43 lakhs.
Please find your
enjoyment and pleasure by contributing substantially to the devine project in
Karapangadu and thus get blessed by Sri Abheeshta Varadaraja Samy and Sri
Perundevi Thayar.
The consecration is fixed for 21st April 2008.The
invitation to attend the Mahasamprokshanam will be sent to you by end of
March/early April2008.
