10,000 plus people at Big Temple

On most Mahasivaratri nights, we have been stationed in Chidambaram. Those were the years when a private Trust used to hold the Natyanjali in the eastern yard of this great temple.

This year, we decided to be at Sri Brihadeeswara Temple on the night.

And goodness, there were some 10,000 people swarming the Big Temple campus this Monday evening.

Sadly, the yard leading to this World Heritage site and the first gopuram was badly lit. There were no lights burning in the yard and the road lights alone lit up this space.

Is this how we light up a World Heritage site?

Sad.
