Build two small gopuram

Mudali Mandapam Iruttu mansapam [ old ]

Mudali Mandapam Iruttu mansapam [ Now ]

மீனாட்சியம்மன் கோயிலில் அம்மன் சன்னிதி வாயிலின் வழியாக உள்ளே சென்றோமானால் அஷ்ட சக்தி மண்டபம் இருக்கும். அதைத் தாண்டியவுடன் ஒரு பெரிய மண்டபத்தில் ஏராளமான பூக்கடைகள் தென்படும். அதற்கும் அப்பால் ஒரு கோபுரவாசல். அதைத் தாண்டிச் சென்றால் ஒரு ஆறுகால் மண்டம இருக்கும். மிக அழகிய தூண்களில் உயிரோட்டமுள்ள சிலைகள் இருக்கும். இங்குதான் குறவன் குறத்தி சிலை என்ற புகழ்பெற்ற சிலைகள் இருக்கின்றன.
    இந்த மண்டபத்துக்கும் அடுத்தாற்போல இன்னொரு கோபுரவாசல். அதையும் தாண்டிச் சென்றால் பொற்றாமரைக் குளம் வரும். அந்தக் கோபுர வாசலின் இருபக்கங்களிலும் விநாயகர், முருகன் சன்னிதிகள் இருக்கின்றன.
    விநாயகர் சன்னிதியில் இருப்பவர் நர்த்தன விநாயகர்.

Meenakshi Temple my dad while crossing Iruttu Mandapam, he will ask himself   "Why Ganesa and Subramanian idols right and left corner , No gopuram but only having  granite pillar’s structures ?".

Madurai Meenakshi Temple kumbabishekam fixed 7 July 1995 , that time Temple PWD  engineer Mr.Sridaran sir , down very amusing job to getting donor to help for kumbabishekam  , he also ask my dad to renovate Iruttu Mandapam . At that time only we came to know that is “Mudali Mandapam”.This was constructed by Kadanthai Mudaliar in 1613 .

'Dream came true to .. ', my Dad  accepts to do renovate but  he requested to  “Build new small gopuram to Ganesa and Subramanian idols”. Mr.Sridaran sir told “i will try to get permission from temple endowment board” and he give order to renovate Iruttu Mandapam [Mudali Mandapam].

Now I am proudly say … " My dad name also in Meenakshi Temple history to Build two small gopuram . I think now this is last gopuram to build in Meenakshi Temple too .."

Wedding Feast

15 years ago,  Madurai Meenakshi Amman Temple Executive officer Mr.Thenaya approached to my dad , “During Meenakshi Tirukkalyanam we are giving food to employees , priest and police bought from hotel only,  You do something for your Pazhamutirsolai Bhaktha Sabhai  .."

Inside temple our Bhaktha Sabhai started Meenakshi Tirukkalyanam Virundhu [Wedding Feast] around 1,500 devotees took part in the feast, but this year Kalyanam virundhu has grown over 50,000  devotees at Sethupathi school , Madurai .
