We had an opportunity to visit an ancient (said to be 1000 years old) Shiva temple in a small town, Paramakudi, in Tamilnadu.

Sri Emaneswaram Udayar Temple, Emaneswaram-623 701, Paramakudi, Ramanathapuram district.

 There was a surprise.

I had never seen anywhere a picture of LORD SHIVA as a CHILD!

But, it is sad that such a wonderful temple is in a sad state of neglect.

An interesting sight we witnessed as we were

coming out of the temple.
