1 Dancing Around Thillai Chidambaram-Sirgazhi-Srimushnam October 9th and 10th 2015
2 Chidambaram Vivamus et metus. Named after the mangroves or Thillai that dominated the surrounding area, Chidambaram is one of India s most sacred shaivite places of worship. Known to many simply as Kovil or temple, Chidambaram has been significant even before the 6 th century after which it was celebrated by the Nayanmars. Nataraja, or Adavallan became the tutelary deity of the Chola emperors and since then the temple and the town around it grew in size and magnificence. Be it religion, festivals, business or tourism, Life in Chidambaram revolves around the Natarajar Temple and the Govindaraja revered by Vaishnavaites. Enshrined in the Hall of Gold or Porchabai, the bronze sculpture representation of Shiva as the cosmic dancer, Nataraja here is not only the King of dancers but performs that dance that creates and sustains the cycle of the cosmos itself. He also embodies the spirit of Shiva as the master of space that cannot be discerned let alone measured. The rituals in the temple for both Nataraja and Govindaraja are complex, filled with music and celebrate the all- pervading essence of the divine spirit. The temple is managed by the ancient and unique community of Dikshitars. The "Ananda Thandalam or dance of eternal bliss has inspired the classical dance of Tamil Nadu Bharata Natyam. Today, Natyanjali is a festival that has the largest convergence of dancers from all around who perform in front of the Lord of Dance. The Phrase Chidambara Rahasya or Mystery of Chidambara is one that is quite commonly used in the south and refers to an abstract geometrical design which is supposed to signify the act of creation. Though we may not be able to assure you the revelation of this mystery, we, Embassy Travels and Historian Pradeep Chakravarthy, invite you to join us in the unraveling of this magnificent temple, its influence on art and culture and a glimpse of surrounding marvels in stone 2
3 Sirgazhi Sirgazhi is home to the Brahmapureeswarar Temple. The temple, though amongst the oldest in the region, has very few ancient historical records due to extensive renovations. Nevertheless, for what is lacks in records it more than makes up for in size and legacy. The temple is spread over 17 acres with courtyards and high wall enclosures - the tallest in the region no mean feat considering that the stone was not locally quarried! Suspendisse elementum rhoncus velit. Nulla turpis metus, faucibus nec, dignissim at, cursus in, tortor. The temple has a unique construction pattern. Shiva is worshipped in three different forms at three different levels of the shrine: The Shivalingam (Bhrammapureeswarar) at the ground level, Uma Maheswarar (Toniappar) at the middle level, and Bhairavar (Sattanathar) at the upper level. The temple is both mythologically as well as historically significant with Thoniappar believed to be the Hindu version of Noahs arc and Gnana Sambandar, a prominent shaivite poet and saint, whose miracle filled life was witnessed by many and documented as well. Though he lived for a mere 16 years, his contribution to Shaivism in Tamil Nadu is immense. His verses are important for their metaphors, devotion and a source of inspiration even for the non- devout. 3
4 Srimushnam Srimushnam has two of the most exquisite temples structures, one for Shiva and the other for Vishnu. The Bhuvaraha swamy temple has an architecture that is high on drama and an interesting climax, i.e., a temple of such massive proportions beautifully reveals the little secret of the primary deity in the garbagraha, which will make you smile! The 16 pillared Purushasukta mandapa built by the Nayakas in the 16 th /17 th Century is one of the finest and resonates the hymn recited everyday. Between the main gopura and the sixteen- pillared hall is the hundred- pillared mandapa belonging to the age of the Marata kings of Tanjavur. The Nayak kings, queens and their retinue bedecked in fine jewelry and elaborate hair- dos are seen surrounded by parrots, and other animals. The Varaha image has long been a favored political symbol for kings making this a good place to understand how religion and politics worked together for mutual benefit. The Tirumuttamudaiya Mahadeva Shivan Temple is smaller but set in a more serene surrounding. The two earlier Shrines were composite until divisions arose and were eventually separated. Inscriptions of the Cholas, Pandyas with Vijayanagara kings from the 10 th century on this unique architectural piece gives us a glimpse of the a fascinating water management in the region. 4

7 1 2 Hailing from Tirunelveli and moving on to international exposure through KFI, MCC, JNU(Delhi) and LSE (London) in his academic years, Pradeep Chakravarthy has always had a passion for the history and Heritage of Tamilnadu with special focus on the role that it plays in society then and now. Having a background in HR/leadership development and coaching though his assignments in TVS, Cognizant, Infosys and McKinsey, he constantly explores methods of constructively employing out of the box techniques of exposure to fine elements practiced in ancient times to motivate and hone ones inherent skills.

8 Our objective translates to experiences: - The musical notes of explanations and the soul embedded in them, indeed, held us in awe at your painstaking scholarship and sharing this with the uninitiated. An apparently disparate group whose individual notes merged into a fine melody, the role of every one present enriched the music of the moment and left an indelible impression J Krishnan, Trustee, Port Trust - The two day trip was really unique - a kind of ' money can't buy ' experience CEO, MNC - I had a great time & enjoyed myself which is naturally but a consequence of, most importantly the composition of the group, mixed with a superb schedule of places visited & unmatched service from the hosts Deepak Ramaswamy, MD, International Clearing & Shipping Agency (I) Pvt. Ltd., Chennai - Thanks Priya and Pradeep for a superbly planned and executed heritage trip. Still recovering form the last royal meal! Mrs. Nithya Balaji, Head of Communications, NGO - A window of opportunity to look into the glorious heritage of our nation and to rediscover our ancient culture. Our Historian and Host were excellent drawing me back to their trips - Saileshraj Vummidi, Jeweler and Entrepreneur - Heritage, art, comfort and delicious local cuisine. A relaxing and enjoyable tour with a lot of learning - Sriram Rajaram, Captain, Indigo Airline - Loved the group, the historian, the host, the places, and the food. Fascinating experience!
