Thirunageswaram and Uppiliappan Kovil - April 2014

The second day in the Jilla, we did a short visit with the family to Uppilliappan and adjoining Thirunageswaram. There was not much of a rush at Uppilliappan kovil.

One good thing about this temple is the massive size of the Perumal and the unobstructed view you can get of the Diety from afar.

The main Shivasthalam - Naganatha Swamy had absolutely no crowd. The full crowd was only at the Raahu deity.

Had a good dharshan and returned back to Kumbakonam. A quick 2 hour trip for both temples together.
