BA Meeting / Pictures / Vijay.

Published by Vijay June 19th, 2007 in Blogging

Hello fellow blogaholics, it’s Tuesday morning here in India.

Looks like mine will be the first contribution to the very first Blogaholics Anonymous meeting at the Official Unofficial Blog.

So here’s to an auspicious start to the proceedings.

This is a picture that I shot in 2005 of the Brihadeeswara Temple in Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu [more pictures here and here].

    Beautiful picture. I think the stone is same as in Mahabalipuram temple ??

    One query here: Can anyone participate there or is it just for the members out there ? And is there a last date or so ?

    Dr. A & JMB: Thanks.

    Cuckoo: The stone probably is the same. I’m not too sure.
    The I’m A Blogaholic site is for members only. The qualification to become a member is to be a self-confessed addict to blogging, a ‘blogaholic.’ The members are mostly medical bloggers, a diverse group which includes doctors, nurses and other medical personnel and patients. I’m sure Dr. Anonymous, the ‘Father of the Site’ would be more than willing to let you participate. Read his welcome post and send him an email.

    Wow, that’s a great picture, and looks a lot like a temple I visited on one of my trips to India. I have certainly spent time in Tamil Nadu (visiting a Gurukkal while thinking of learning kalaripayattu), but I’m not sure it’s the same place… does this one have the hollow columns inside, all carved from a single piece of rock, and that sound like bells when struck?

    Thanks Gaz. I didn’t know that there are kalaripayattu gurukulams in Tamil Nadu. Kalari originated in Kerala the neighbouring state on the west coast of peninsular India. I just learnt from Wikipedia that there is a style of Kalari that was/is practiced in Tamil Nadu.
    The temple with the musical pillars is probably the Nellaiyappar Temple in Tirunelveli, which is closer to the border with Kerala than Thanjavur, where the Brihadeeswara temple is located.
