Different approaches become necessary to unify the human beings from various religious factions to attain the Supreme. One such pathway is temple worship and the worship of its icon. The nightingale sings, the glow worm glows and together they dispel the darkness of the night ! The famous temple of Thirupullam Boothangudi is one such unique synthesis. The temple is a great monument of Dravidian art glorified by heavenly connections. A five-tiered tower dominates the landscape from an imposing height. The tower conjures up visions of multi-coloured pictures of the distant past. Sanctified by the reclining image of the Lord this theertha occupies a modest dimension on an area of one acre with a single prahara. A five-tiered tower crowned with kalasams perched Over the eastern entrance bears ample testimony to the Dravidian architecture. As we get past the gopura we prostrate before the Dwaja sthamba and the Bali Peeta. We then pass through the next gateway of three tiers before entering the sanctum. There are other shrines in the prahara.
