We returned in the evening after lunch and rest.As we entered the mighty gopuram and entered Govindaraja Perumal sanctum we saw Govindaraja Perumal in reclining posture on a seven hooded Seshan with Sridevi and Bhudevi at His Feet.Perumal faces east looking at Nataraja. There was a kind of purity visible and while staring at them a group of gypsies surrounded us and we somehow managed to get into the car. They seemed to belong to another age altogether unsullied by modern influences. It was afternoon when we reached the temple gates and we thought of having darsan but the temple had just closed so we decided to come in the evening.The priests at the temple had knots in the middle of their heads unlike the tufts seen at the back.We had to cross the houses of the residents and saw really young women in nine yard sarees wearing nose studs on both sides and we were struck by their natural beauty. We travelled to Cuddalore by bus from Chennai and our friend picked us up here and took us to his house in Chidambaram. We had the opportunity to visit this temple almost a decade back.
