Sri Veeraraghava Perumal Temple - Thiruvallur

Visiting this temple for number of times, but without a camera..Somehow it happened yesterday when decided to visit Sri Veeraraghava Perumal temple and Thirupachur temple. About Sri Veeraraghava Perumal, I started visiting because of Nagesh Sir who talked much about the temple. The temple tank seen in the photo was so nice, because was witnessing the temple tank when it was getting ready. Each time I visited the temple, what strikes me was the cleanliness of the temple and the paintings...Wish other temples learn some cleanliness lessons from this temple.Also the painting when I first saw I was spell bound with so beautiful paintings which gives the information about the life style in those wonderful days of bygone era...while composing these lines...am listening and also wishing those mesmerizing song from MS Subbulakshmi's அந்த நாளும் வந்திடாதோ!
These kinds of paintings from different lives of saints and sages whose lives and messages should adorn the walls of all our temples from which visitors take lessons and go.We have 63 nayanmars and the paintings could do the same.
And what to write or how to write about the beautifully sculpted stones to this polish?What information they say?What kind of mindset should be there for people to bring this kind of sculptures?
Are we in position to recreate such mindset for sculptors to produce or general people to maintain now for future generations to learn and aspire. This post is for that purpose of passing invaluable information to save for next generations to learn...visit temples to start with.
