Skywatch�my village down south

 

My ancestors come from a beautiful village called Kallidaikuruchi located down South in India in a district called Tirunelveli in Tamil Nadu district. I visited this place early this year and I am still mesmerised by the trip . All around you are views like this with The Western Ghats for company. This is no picnic spot or destination..just a piece of natural beauty on the road enroute to Manimuthar Falls/Dam.

India through my eyes - Guardian Gods

While driving in and around my village Kallidaikurichi in down South Tirunelveli, I chanced upon a temple in Ambasamudram where these Guardian Gods were housed. I learnt from family and some friends on Facebook that the deity was referred to as Vandimaricha Amman. It is near the Agasthiyar Temple

Ayyanars are also referred to as Guardian Gods and here is a post on them.
