Road to Pillayarpatti |

Trichy Rock fort |
We visited Trichy cos sister wanted to perform prayers @ the Pillaypatti Temple. The journey from Trichy to Pillayarpatti takes about 2 hours. The pooja was carried out @ the Karpaka Vinayakar Temple, an ancient rock-cut cave shrine dedicated to Ganesha located at Thiruppatthur. We visited this temple way back in 2009. I didn't know it was a Shivan temple...maybe cos Pillayar overtook his dad's popularity *lol* ..
