The Hindu
Hundreds of devotees visited the Mutt on the last day of the 10-day annual festival
The Gangavatarana Mahotsavam at Sri Sridhara Ayyaval Mutt, Thiruvisalur, near Kumbakonam concluded on Saturday with the followers of Sri Sridhara Venkatesha Ayyaval having a bath in`holy water’ in the Mutt.
Hundreds of devotees visited the Mutt on the last day of the 10-day annual festival, Karthigai Amavasai (New Moon Day in the Tamil month of Karthigai), and drenched themselves with water drawn from the well.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
