LETTER TO OUR DEAR PRIME MINISTER - TOURISM 82


य और आदरणीय प्रधान मंत्रीजी ,
आज से ठीक ऐक महीने पहले मैंने आप को ऐक चिट्टी लिखी थी I उस औसर पर आप भारत के स्वतंत्रता दिवस के दौरान देश को लाल किले से सम्भोदिद कर रहे थे l 
मै इस वक़्त कनाडा के रिजायना नाम के शहर में अपने बेटी के साथ गुज़ार रहा हूँ l मैंने अपनी चिट्टी हिंदी लीपी ना होने के कारण आधी हिंगलिश और बाकी अंग्रेजी में लिखी थी l शायद इसी कारण आप ने जवाब नहीं दिया l 
मैने पर्यटन के बारे में अपने गांव अम्बासमुद्रम और उसकी खूबसूरती की  पूरी जानकारी दी थी l 
इस बार मै यह खत हिंदी में लिख रहा हूँ , मै आशा करता हूँ की आप  मुझे जवाब देने की तकलीफ करेंगे l आप की स्वतंत्रता दिवस की भाषण में आप ने पर्यटन और उसकी आवश्तकता के बारे में ज़िक्र किया था l 
हम सब आप के पीछे हैं और आप का साथ देंगे l 

आपका और हमारे देश का शुभ चिंतक ,

I will now try and  address you in proper English Sir . I belong to a small taluq headquarter town of Ambasamudram in the Tirunelveli District of Tamilnadu . As you may be well aware BJP and its policies as headed by you , sadly do not find many supporters here . I have been your staunch supporter and tried my best to highlight all that you stand for . I am in this place for the last 40 plus years and have worked in a reputed Textile Mill here . Since both my son and daughter with their families are settled in Canada , i have 
been visiting them quite often . During my stay here i have had opportunities to visit many places of Tourist Interests . I have had the good fortune to visit places of interest during their earlier stays in the Philippines, UK , USA, and Canada .
On a personal note due to work related issues , i have also visited France , Netherland , Belgium , Sri Lanka , Singapore and Thailand .
In all these places places of tourist attractions are maintained in spotless perfection which adds to many other incremental developments .

Your Independence  Day Speech highlighted 
TOURISM , its importance and the all around improvements it could bring to the area around it and the country as a whole .
I have been highlighting the same in my Blogsite but have not met with any positive response so far  from the authorities concerned . They probably have more pressing issues regarding their own survival on hand to attend to .

I am enclosing a copy of my blogsite 

Posting to highlight AMBASAMUDRAM and its tourist attractions .



Ambasamudram  , a small taluk headquarters town in Tirunelveli District of Tamilnadu has many places of tourist attractions which cater to the tastes of people in all age groups . Surprisingly all these places of interest are located within a radius of 40 kms from this small town .

The unique and standout feature of this Paddy growing area is the River Tamiraibarani around which most ,if not all of these places are located . This river originates in the Western Ghats and winds its way in to the sea in the neighboring District of Tuticorin . Nava Thirupathi and Nava Kailayam Temples are a feature on the banks of this great river which recently
celebrated its Mahapushkarani .
Visit

TIRUPADAIMARUTHUR : This Siva Temple is situated some 15 kms from Ambasamudram and is the abode of Lord Naramboonathar and his consort Gomathyambal . The finely chiseled feature of the main deity is RUDRAKSHARA MENI ( MEANING SKIN HAVING A FEEL OF THE RUDRAKSHA SEED )
Visit

Brahmadesam : 10 kms from the town , this is also a Siva Temple and the main Deities here are Lord Kailasanathar and Goddess Brahannayaki . There are many breathtaking artwork pieces here .
The roof at the entrance has Chozha , Pandya and Cheran architecture. There is a bell carved out of a single rock with rings and gong . There is a huge statue of Lord Pichadanathar weighing a few tons standing on his toes with nothing else for support anywhere . The 9 gopurams or towers of the various deities can be seen from a particular spot on the outer periphery of the temple .
Visit

PAPANASAM : This Siva Temple is again on the banks of the river Tamiraibarani and is situated some 12 kms from Ambasamudram. This temple is famous for its Vishu Festival of 8 days in the Tamil month of Chitrai . Legend has it that a prayer at the foot of the lord after a dip in the river cleanses one of all the sins committed and a pardon is granted .
Visit

ATHAZHANALLUR : This again on the banks of the river is an abode of Lord Balaji or Adhivarahamoorthy where Gajendra attained Moksha from the clutches of the crocodile .

As it may sound a bit boring , i am just mentioning a few other temples by name
SIVASAILANATHAR AT AZHWARKURICHY , CHINNA SANKARANKOVIL , ERUTHIAAZHKONDAAR TEMPLE both at Ambasamudram proper.

Apart from the temples mentioned above , there are many places of interest for the adventurous and fun loving in and around Ambasamudram.

Agasthiar Falls : It is on the foothills of the Western Ghats and unlike the  more famous Courtallam spa of the south which is seasonal from mid June to mid September of each year  , the one at Agasthiar Falls is there for the taking 365 days of the year . A bath in the falls has medicinal values as well . 10 more kms up the hill on the Ghat Road and one is in the middle of the Kalakkad / Mundanthurai Wildlife Sanctuary with all its flora and fauna . On lucky days some wild life can also be spotted , even otherwise the Forest Authorities arrange night Safaris if prior information is given to them . The top of the drive takes one to a place called the Karayar Dam . This Dam meets the needs of the irrigation and agricultural demands of both Tirunelveli and Tuticorin Districts not to forget its drinking water requirements . It is also the source for the Papanasam Hydro Electric Project .
One other place of interest to the water lovers is the Manimuthar Falls , this place is roughly 15 kms from Ambasamudram and the Ghat Road leads you to it . This place is ideal for a bath and a swim in the 80 feet deep pond on the path of the waterfalls .
Now comes the most exciting part of all . Further up the 20 kms ghat road is the place called Manjolai . This place is famous for its Tea Estates . The cool clime and the lush green carpet of the Tea Estates is eye soothing . The temperature is comparable with the ones at Ooty or Kodaikanal . One is fortunate that modernisation has not yet spoilt the place into a commercial tourist spot . Khodaiyaru , Naalumukku and Kaakachi are the places to visit for all their scenic beauty.
As can be seen Ambasamudram has places of various tourist attractions and can satisfy a wide variety of tastes both for the young and the old .
The nearest Railway Junction is at Tirunelveli some 45 kms away . The nearest Airport is Vagaikulam Airport , halfway between Tirunelveli and Tuticorin . The Airport is just 90 mts drive from Ambasamudram . Apart from this Airports at Madurai and Thiruvananthapuram are some 150 kms away .
Ambasamudram has fairly good Hotels which provide Boarding and Lodging at affordable costs. Cabs are also available on round trip or per day packages .

COME TO AMBASAMUDRAM , SHE IS JUST WAITING TO BE DISCOVERED BY YOU

PS : I have been to a number of Tourist Destinations both in India and Abroad  , no other single place offers such a wide range of attractions as this place . If such a place was available in the West , they would have made it the first place of attraction for the tourists and developed the area for the benifit of both the locals and the tourists .

I hope i will at least get a response from you sir ,

Thanks and Regards

AYODHYA YAATRA DAY 1 - 702

 AYODHYA YAATRA  DAY - ONE     Sundar Holiday Travels  As instructed  by Mr Ashok of Sunder Travels , we were dot on time at 9.00 thanks primarily due to smooth flow of traffic from Vadapalani to the Chennai  Airport .  Other Yatrees also slowly trooped in . Ashok seemed to have his way with the Indigo Airways . Group Check in saved us a lot of time . Lunch packet Distribution done we were on our way and were before time at Lucknow .  Lucknow was a lot different from what I had imagined , airport was spotlessly clean as was their baggage handling services .  Mr Ashok saw to it that we were off on a Bus to Ayodhya in a flash . It was a near Two and a Half Hour journey and we reached the Resort by 5.30 pm .  Our Chennai to Lucknow Flight  was by The  Indigo Airbus A 320 Flight 6E 515  Aircraft with a capacity of 180 Passengers.  That , we from the Sunder Travels made up for the larger part of these Seats made ...

Ayodhya Yaatraa Day -3 - 704

Image
                  Ayodhya Yatra - Day 3  The highlight of the day was to be the Holy Dip in the Triveni Sangamam .  For the uninformed Triveni Sangamam is the place where the Three Rivers Ganga Yamuna and Saraswathy converge into one . It is the place where Veni Daanam is given after a bath in the River .  The 20 Minute Boat Ride takes you to this place of convergence of these three rivers . The Boatmen help you to take a dip in the water . Old set of clothes are discarded symbolising the discarding of everything bad and the start of a new fresh life .  Ganga is slightly murky while the Yamuna is clearer , Saraswathy is Antervaahini and it converges under water .  The Dhambadhi Pooja after the Dip in the Holy Waters  was performed with all the diligence that the occasion demands . The Sastrigal performed the Ritual which is an almost second time Marriage where vows are taken to lead a life in all happiness and be...

VAIKOM VISIT- IN GODS OWN COUNTRY - 686

Image
 VAIKOM VISIT - IN GODS OWN                     COUNTRY  Kerala has always been my favourite place of visit over the years . Its cleanliness , its greenery,  waterways , not to forget its spirituality and beautiful people in more ways than one  have always held  a special attraction for  me . We , that is me and my Better Half have visited Kerala before  and visited many of  its  Temples and Tourist Attractions.  One place missing in this list has been the Viakom  Sri Mahadeva Temple . We decided to embark  on  a visit to this place and Mami was spot on to point out that there was a direct Train from Ambasamudram to Vaikom Road by the 16792 Palaruvi Express starting from ASD at 11.57 PM and reaching Vaikom Road Station at 7.30 Am the next morning . Nothing could be better ,  We made the Reservations for both the Up  and Down Jorneys on the 11 th and 13 th Jun...
