ArunaschalaswararTemple, Tiruvannamalai

A temple from the Chola Dynasty, 9th century CE.  My destination.

People come from all over India to walk around Arunachala, especially on the full moon between November and December when the Karthigal Deepam festival is celebrated and a huge fire is lit  on top of the hill . Three tons of ghee are transported up and placed in a cauldron.  The cauldron burns for hours.
