ThirukkaNNangudi , ThirukkOshtiyUr SelayUr and ThiruvallikkENi .

At SrI Matam , SealuyUr , I had the blessings of HH SrImath
Azahgiya Singar and attended the PradhOsha AarAdhanam .
I also had the BhAgyam of performing a Dolai for DolaikkaNNan
on Sep 17 , the day of my  return trip to States .

I will share later with you the delightful visits to all the above
kshEthrams .

The RathnAngi SamarpaNam for Lord DevanAthan went very well .
Approximately 2,500 people had the darsanam of the Lord
adorning HIs new AabharaNam to the delight of Swamy Desikan .
300 participants attended TadhiyArAdhanam  that day (Sep 16) .
Next day , the Lord had PuRappAdu inside the temple precincts
since Swamy Desikan's Uthsavam was in progress .

All in all it is a MahA BhAgyam to present the new RathnAngi
to the Lord on behalf of all of You .My sincere thanks to every one
who supported this Kaimakryam to the Lord . A souvenir was released
with contributions from SrI VaishNavite Scholars on this occasion.

 Lord Devanatha adorned with `ratnangi'

 By Our Special Correspondent

 CUDDALORE, SEPT. 16. The office-bearers of the Devanathan Ratnangi 
Kainkarya
 Committee, led by V. Sadagopan, handed over the ratnangi (precious
 gem-studded golden outfit) to Ravindran, Executive Officer of Sri Devanatha
 Swamy Temple at Tiruvaheendrapuram, near here, today.

 The Rs. 30-lakh ratnangi, made in eight parts — tirumarbu, tiruvaadai,
 sangam, chakram, abhaya hastam, varada hastam, gadai and tiruvadi— was
 adorned to the presiding deity in the evening.

 According to the committee secretary, V. Srikanth, the ratnangi was made
 with donations from devotees in the country and abroad.

 The driving force behind the project was Mr. Sadagopan. Under the 
initiative
 of one of the vice-presidents, Padma Veeraraghavan, it got shape.

 She contributed the proceedings from her music concerts to the project. The
 attire was designed and crafted by the Nagercoil sthapathi, S. Muthusamy,
 with silver plate as the base, and 22-carat gold foils, studded with 2,500
 rubies, 500 pushparagams, and 450 maragathams. It took two years for five
 artisans to complete the task. The committee president, Mohan Parasaran, 
the
 vice-president, Ramakrishna Reddiyar, the secretaries, Devaki Santhanam and
 M.K. Srinivasan, and the treasurer, V.N. Venkatanathan, were present.
