The Sun Temple at Konârak, located on the eastern shores of the Indian subcontinent, is one of the outstanding examples of temple architecture and art as revealed in its conception, scale and proportion, and in the sublime narrative strength of its sculptural embellishment. It is an outstanding testimony to the 13th-century kingdom of Orissa and a monumental example of the personification of divinity, thus forming an invaluable link in the history of the diffusion of the cult of Surya,the Sun God.
At both the Shwedagon and Kyaikhtiyoe, there are new inscriptions. For instance, an inscription is mounted on the new Shwedagon Htidaw, and on parts of the Kyailhtiyoe Shwehtidaw canonical texts have been inscribed.
There isn’t a better motto that describes the whole nation of India more than this one. One of the main areas where this diversity is extremely telling is in religious monuments and places of worship. We have the Tibetan monasteries of Ladakh, the great mosques and other Islamic structures of Delhi, the Golden gurudwaras of Punjab, the churches of Goa and of course the temples of Tamil Nadu. While there is no dearth of incredible temples all across India, in Tamil Nadu it is on another level. We’re sure no one would want to miss a temple trail in Tamil Nadu.
With many of these temples dating back thousands of years and built in the distinct Dravidian style, it shouldn’t matter whether you are Hindu or not, whether you are religious or not. These temples are for everyone, from history buffs to architecture geeks to the devotional deities. To learn more about ancient India (particularly South Indian) culture and heritage, be sure to visit these gems of places when you are in Tamil Nadu. So let us get this pilgrimage going, shall we!

We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

SIKKAL SINGARAVELAR TEMPLE
Much to cast down, much to build, much to restore
It was in 1920 that the K arumuttu family took up the renovation work of the
Singaravelar temple at Sikkal. Though Kalithanthai was not directly involved in the
work, it deserves a separate chapter, as it gives us a glimpse into the devotion of the
family to public work.
In taking up the renovation work, the family was only following the nagarathar
tradition. After the ancient Tamil kings, it was the nagarathars who had been in the
forefront in preserving our temples. In the pre-industrial times, life in the community
maxim. Thousands of temples are scattered all over Tamil Nadu. Most of these temples
had been built by the ancient Tamil kings and chieftains at different times. With the
passage of time and with foreign invasions, many of the temples were neglected and
tended to fall into ruins. According to the agama sastras, the temples should be
periodically renovated and consecrated. The nagarathars took it upon themselves to do
the renovation. They developed their own style of architecture and rebuilt the old
temples. They selected Siva temples celebrated in the devotional songs of the Saivaite
saints and took up the reconstruction work with dedication. The beautiful mandapam
with the sculptured pillars in the Sundareswarar sannidhi in the Sri Meenakshi Temple at
Madurai was built by Vainagaram Nagappa Chettiar and his brother some three hundred
years ago.

Sikkal is close to Nagappattinam in the old Tanjore district where the Karumuttu
family had their business. The word chetty in Tamil refers to Lord Muruga, and as
members of the chettiar community, the Karumuttu brothers undertook the renovation
work of the Singaravelar temple at Sikkal as it was close to their place of business.
According to Kanda Puranarn, Lord Muruga was born to rid the world of
Surapaduman, a demon king, who had been terrorizing all the three worlds. According to
(Vel) for killing the demon.
And it was in Sikkal that Muruga received the Vel.
The Singaravelar temple is part of the Siva temple at Sikkal and it stands on an
artificial hillock. It was built by the Chola king, Kocchengotcholan in the fourth century
A.D. The construction seems to have taken thirty-five years. Later kings who ruled from
Tanjore, notably the Nayaks, seem to have made endowments to the temple. It is a
temple that has been sung by Tirugnanasambandar and Saint Chidambaranar of Kanchi.
The name of the god is Navaneetheshwarar and the goddess is Velnedumkannal.
Sikkal is known as an abode of Lord Muruga, and He is here with his two consorts, Valli
and Deivanai, and with a Vel in his hand. There is a festival here connected with the
giving of the Vel to Lord Muruga (Vel vaangudal) by Parasakti. What happens during the
ithout the sensible
receive the Vel, beads of perspiration can be seen on the idol of Singaravelar. We can
only say with Hamlet,
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than arc dreamt of in your
philosophy.

The renovation work undertaken by the Karumuttu family took ten years from
1920 to 1930. Kalaithanthai did not take active part in the work. It was his second
brother Karumunu Alagappa Chettiar who supervised the work and completed it to
equivalent to a hundred million today. The floor was paved with Italian marble. The
chief tower has seven tiers and has a majestic appearance. The family also made gold
mounts (vahanas) for the idols. These were the admiration of the foreign delegates of the
Second World Tamil Conference at Madras, some of whom were keen to take them to
their country to be exhibited at cultural festivals.
During the festivals, music concerts would be conducted on a grand scale. For
such concerts and for celebrating marriages, Alagappa Chettiar constructed a permanent
hall with iron pillars. This did not satisfy the aesthetic taste of Kalaithanthai, who, in a
lighter vein, ascribed the not-so-
eye.
There are statues of Karumuttu Alagappa Chettiar and his wife in the temple.
Kalaithanthai tried in 1946 to get back the hereditary trusteeship of the temple and
family have been able to participate in the periodic renovation of the temple. And now,
Murugappan, has undertaken the renovation of the temple.
renovation of the temple at Sikkal that got me the position as the Chairman of the Board
of Trustees of the Palani Dhandayuthapani temple. My son T. Kannan too has been
equally blessed: he has been Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Tirupparankundram
Subramanyaswamy temple twice in the last decade.
