VADAPALANI |
|
|
| The sculptor agreed
but the images never turned up so beautiful as the one made for Vadapalani. As the image
was not installed immediately at Vadapalani the sculptor had to keep it with him for some
time. In the meanwhile trustees of other big temples, who had a mind to get this image
somehow, tried to tempt the sculptor to part with the image, but the latter never agreed. On the appointed day Ratnavel Chettiar went to Annaswamy Nayagar who was
ready to leave the world and go to the feet of God. Nayagar soon passed away. A tomb was
constructed for himat a distance of a furlong from the temple and Ratnavel Chettiar
continued the work of worship to Lord Subrahmanya's picture. Ratnavel Chettiar converted
the house of Annaswamy Nayagar into a temple and ordered a sculptor to make an image of
Lord Subrahmanya according to the specifications given by the latter. |
