Kinchitkaram Trust

Renovation

Our trust completed the renovation and samprokshanam of Appakkudathan temple at Koviladi in January 2016
>We were fortunate to offer part service in the renovation of Sirupuliyur temple completed in June 2012.
The Trust completed the renovation of the Raja Gopuram and Oththakkal Mandapam of the Thiruvattaru Adi Keshava Perumal temple and is coordinating the remaining renovation works for samprokshanam
The Trust also provided a new pallakku ( palanquin) to ThirumeyyamSathyamoorthyperumal temple.
There is a beautiful temple on the way to Badrinath at Pandukeshwar. This shrine was the route when Swamy Ramanuja visited Badri. Our trust took up renovating the path and this temple. It is so serene now on the banks of the Holy Ganga and in the backdrop of the mighty Himalayas. A good number of pilgrims visiting Badri have started visiting here. This got washed away in floods and is being rebuilt now.

When Rama entered Dandakaranya during His exile, He visited Sutheekshna asrama in Madhya Pradesh. This is a remote hamlet in a forest. We renovated this whole place which was a welcome help to the sadhus who live there.
A Memorial at Sri Pillai LokacharyaTiruvarasu Sri Pillai Lokacharya was one of the great acharyas who lived in the 13th and 14th century. When Uluk Khan invaded Srirangam in the year 1325, this acharya safeguarded the reclining deity of Sri Ranganatha by raising a stone curtain. He fled towards south along with Namperumal,theutsava deity in a palanquin along followed by a few faithful devotees. They found a hideout called Jyotishkudi at the foot of anamalai hills near madurai. Placing the deity in a cave, they lived there for about a year. Age and disease overpowered Sri Pillai Lokacharya and he attained eternal bliss.

Ramanujarya Divyajnya

Following the divine command of Swamy Ramanuja to maintain the holy shrines and ensure that flowers, chandan and prasadam are offered to the deity, we do daily maintenance as well as renovation of divya kshetrams.

Daily Maintenance

To develop the above Divya desams , we appoint a bhagavata in the divyakshetram for complete maintenance of the garden. Nandavanam (garden) is maintained right from tilling and arranging source of water to wreathing garlands and offering to the deity. We also supply the required provisions and financially assist the paricharaka (cook). We have now taken up this service in Tirukkannangudi, Koviladi, Sirupuliyur, Kattumannarkoil, and Tirunagari (Tiruvali).
