It
is indeed a marvelous city renowned for commendable catholicity,
breathing in diversity and breathing out unity. Look ! The strange
just apposition of Sivan kovils and Vishnu shrines interspersed with
Sakti temples in the same locality, and in the self same street at
it. Its rich past embodies such an admirable spirit of unparalleled
universality that it recalls to the mind the sublimity pervading the
ancient parnasalas - the abodes of Maharshis, whose taposakti made
the wild lionesses suckle mild deers. Sure the religious homogenity,
social amicability and cultural unity that existed there, is beyond
the range of words to explicate its uniqueness. Its plus points are
many and varied and they encompassed both mortals and immortals
whose joint ventures ended in lokakalyana. Among the many visit
worthy places the glory of Mahamaham tank merits mention for
veneration. Though scores of world renowned temples are strewn over
in and out of the town, only major ones beckon our attention first.
