点评:Visit to Chidambaram was part of our south temple trip. I had gone with my Mother who is a senior citizen.. Was worried about the travel from Tricky to Chidambaraam. It took us about 2 hours an 20 minutes to reach chidambaram. We had started at 8:45 and reached by 10:15. The driver had taken a toll road and the drive was fast and smooth. The highways have all been upgraded and it was mostly a 6 lane highway. We had very less traffic on the way. The temple complex is also huge. Photography is strictly not allowed within the temple complex. There was crowd for darshan, but it was manageable and we got good darshan. The idol of lord Nataraja is small and we have to really concentrate to have a good look. There are no artificial lights. We can see the lord only in the light of the oil lamps lit inside the sanctum.
This is also an ancient temple in stone. The pillars and carvings on the pillars are just amazing. No adjectives to describe the amazing architecture of the temple. You have to see it to experience it. Words would not do justice to the diving feeling of the temple and having darshan of the till Natarajar lord.
One amazing thing that I noticed was that the gopuram about the sanctum can only be seen from inside the temple. No matter how far we go , we are not able to see the golden roof above the sanctum of the lord from outside. The temple wall boundary makes sure of that.
翻译:参观奇丹巴兰是我们南寺之旅的一部分。我和一位年迈的母亲一起去的。我担心从特里基到奇丹巴兰的路途。我们花了大约 2 小时 20 分钟才到达奇丹巴兰。我们 8:45 出发,10:15 到达。司机走了一条收费公路,车速很快,很平稳。高速公路都已升级,大部分是 6 车道高速公路。我们一路上车流量很少。寺庙建筑群也很大。寺庙建筑群内严禁拍照。朝拜的人很多,但可以控制,我们得到了很好的朝拜。纳塔拉贾神的神像很小,我们必须集中注意力才能看清楚。没有人造光。我们只能在圣殿内点亮的油灯的灯光下看到神。
这也是一座古老的石头寺庙。柱子和柱子上的雕刻令人惊叹。无法用形容词来描述这座寺庙令人惊叹的建筑。您必须亲眼目睹才能体验。语言无法表达寺庙的潜水感和对纳塔拉贾神灵的崇拜。
我注意到一件令人惊奇的事情是,圣殿周围的 gopuram 只能从寺庙内部看到。无论我们走多远,我们都无法从外面看到神灵圣殿上方的金色屋顶。寺庙的墙壁边界确保了这一点。
