Ponniyin Selvan Varalaatru Peravai

Yesterday's THE HINDU Chennai edition was a treasure trove, carrying
3 good articles in heritage and temples

-on Vepathoor's agraharam and a ruined temple...near Kumbakonam

- heritage house in Tirunelveli imitating the 1000 window bungalow
in Devakottai

I remember REACH member Vammanji @ Vasu @Lakshminarayanan's native
is Vepathur. If yes, We can plan for a heritage trip to this place
and back, we can visit few of Kumbakonam's ancient temples.

The worrying part is the paintings in the Vepathur Perumal temple
the writer mentions! Also we see our Mr.Kudavoil Balasubramaniam
happened to accompnay the writer! If yes, can we think of restoring
these paintings and renovate the temple? Ifthe old houses are broken
for modernisation, member LAkshminarayanan can buy the old bricks,
which REACH should fund, as I know that these older bricks are very
strong than the modern bricks. Such bricks can be used for temple
renovations.

Seniors, please advise and act. Thanks

Also this link has the collection of articles on 'heritage'
summarized, which also consists many temples and heritage houses on
list. CAn anyone codify them districtwise, like what our dear Thiru
did with PS docs?
