Narasinga Perumal Madurai

Today(06/03/2013) I visited Narasinga Perumal temple, Othakadai, Madurai with my wife. The temple is very old(7A.D) and very famous.
Took a mini bus in front of Meenakshi Mission Hospital, Madurai. Fare Rs.6/-. The bus halted at Othakadai for a few minutes. Then proceeded. It took about 20 minutes in all. The bus stopped just in front of the temple. The temple is situated at foot of Aanamalai hills. The backdrop of the hills give a mind blowing view. As it was a ordinary day without any functions there were only few people. As you enter the temple we can see Narasingavalli Thayar so beautifully present. As you enter, Narsinga Perumal is so majestic with ferocious look. He will create fear for those who do wrong. For others he blesses with what you want. We offered tulsi garland. The priest prayed for out family's well being. We came out and saw the pond. It was full of lotus plants. There were no flowers as they had been removed by those who sell them just nearby. Very bad. The flowers look so beautiful at the pond. We took another mini bus just outside the temple. Fare Rs.7/- for upto Mattuthavani, Madurai Central bus stand. From there we took a bus to Virudhunagar.
