The best of Dravidian Architecture! The Sun worships Lord Shiva along with Nandhi.

            Behind the scene :

I read a news on an event happening at Madurai Sri Muktheeswarar Temple. It said that The Sun worships Lord Shiva during the third and fourth week of September (21st to 30th) from 6.30am to 6.50am.

I was very eager to capture this event and visited the temple today morning. The temple was full of silence and darkness. I waited along with hundreds of people about an hour. Slowly at 6.40am a glimpse of sunlight came. Yeah! The Sun was rising there, within a few minutes the rays beautifully traveled over Nandhi's head and spread on Lord Shiva in the shrine. The sun along with Nandhi finally did the first pooja of the day!

I was just astonished!

A click from there to share with you.
