1996 Kumbhabhishekam



All are aware the last Kumbhahishekam of the Maha Sastha temple was held in 2008.  The previous one was held in 1996, twelve years before it.  I did not attend the function as I was in Delhi at that time.  But I am sure there will be many who witnessed it.  Some of you may be in possession of photos of that event. I request you to trace them and share it with others.  That should give a good historical perspective.
Sri Hari Theerthan has sent me some of the photos in his possession which you find above.  Looking at the photos one gets a sense of how things were at that time - the Ayyanar koil, the Shyamala kali koil, the villagers are all seen.  Do enjoy viewing them.

Photos of Kumbhabhishekam -1996 with you can be shared by uploading in the web album, link to which can be found by clicking the slide show above.
