Water is elixir of life and Lord. So much of engineering and chemistry in making idols of Hindu temples that may not strike at a glance but powerful Hindu mind with vision of Lord can see the structures and incorporate it in idols that is cynosure of every temple in India and other temples in South East Asia regions.
I was born and brought up in Thiruvanaikoil and lived there for 21 years.I have enjoyed every inch of this temple and the venue of my study was the outer prakaram of this temple, as our house had no electric power.We have admired the sculpture of Eka paadha murthy but never thought of the molecular angle. Thank you Thyagarajan Sir. jayasala42
Glad to know your study venue was the precinct of this very temple. I am agog to know more of the temple history. Thanks and Regards.
