"Parichay" Begur Temple


Sunday March 16, 2008

How many times do we visit a temple in a week, a month or a year? if some of you claim quite a few times, then answer this.. How many times do you get a chance to visit a temple dating 890 AD... not very often right!!

This time the "Parichay" took us to Panchalingeshwara Temple at Begur off Hosur Road. Ar. Prathibha Convenor INTACH Bangalore gave us the history of the temple and explained to us the different styles of architecture in the temple by Gangas, Cholas and the Vijayanagara rulers. Being Tyagaraja Jayanthi we witnessed a few women singing Thayagaraja keertanes. The main temple is a small structure but it does talk a lot about the histroy behind it.

Dr. Jegannnathan, then gave us a talk on the the energy levels at different places inside the temple (Bio Magnetic), he also gave us information on various temple structures and idol placements to balance the energy leves. We could also see a live demonstration of the enery mesurements.
