Fascinated by those masks designed to ward off the evil eye. Totally different from the Greek symbol that I am used to. Can these be found in houses as well and if so is their a particular place (IE a doorway/window) in which they are commonly found?

ReplyDeletehey nanri yar:)
ReplyDeleteIs this the only temple they say has been created for Brahma? I remember having heard somewhere that there is only one temple created for the creator himself. Is it true?
ReplyDeleteLiju
DeleteI hear there are a few In India.I already visited 2 in Tamil nadu itself,that too in Trichy
congrats for award
ReplyDeleteVery nice temple. Recently I worshipped Brahmapureeswarar Temple and had a nice darshan of the presiding deities. Lord Brahma's meditative posture is amazing. A must visit for everyone who goes to Trichy.
