Recently I had been to Sri Rajagopalaswami temple at Mannargudi from Kumbakonam and never knew Alangudi temple is close.There being so many temples around K'konam , each one being as important as the other, we would be unable to cover all on a short visit.Thanks to you I could get a feel of the Guru temple.
