First Puja with personal visiting card of Mohla-Punjabi Saraswat Brahman

Recently i was in Coimbatore District of Tamil Nadu(India) and on my way to Pollachi further south towards Kodaikanal, i stopped and performed puja at a temple Dedicated to Vinayaka(Ganesha). Echanari Vinayagar temple is located about 13 km away from Coimbatore on the way to Pollachi. Dated back to 1500 AD, it is considered as one of the oldest temple in the city. The idol of the deity is one of the biggest in South India with a height and width of 6 feet and 3 feet respectively. It is believed that the moolavar (deity) was actually taken from Madurai to be installed at Perur Patteshwarar temple. But on its way, it got struck at Eachanari and the place became blessed by installing the deity. Here for the first time i used my personal visiting card

This is another Ganesha idol where i pay my reverence on every visit to Coimbatore. Till recently, i was made aware of its status as Asia's largest idol of Ganesha. It stands imposingly in Puliakulam-Coimbatore. The temple was built in 1993 and the idol weighs about 14 tonnes. Personal visiting card was used second time here.
