Kumbakonam is the second biggest town in Thanjavur District and also known as TEMPLE city. It is located about
270 Kilometers south of Chennai (Madras). The town is bounded by two rivers -
" River Cauvery" on the north and "River Arasalar" on the south. The town is identified by many temples sprinkled
all over the town, most of them are very
ancient temples. Kumbakonam town is very famous for
Mahamagam festival,
which is celebrated here once in 12 years(1992, 2004, .....).
At the time of Mahamagam festival, it is believed that in Mahamagam tank, the famous rivers like Ganga, Yamuna, Saraswathi,
Sarayu, Godavari, Mahanathi, Narmatha, Payoshnl, and Cauvery are meeting together. In the year 1977-78 I did
