Stand there on that regal entrance
where the towers so prominent
to sky so above
from the hall of thousand pillars on the
12th century historic temple
Sobriquet, Athens of East
shrine of Meenakshi in Madhurai
on the banks of sacred river Vaigai
and there the musical pillars,
near the northern tower
reach your hand for a
mesmerizing divine
soft touch, music
you hear from there......

Athens of the east and Meenakshi of Madurai Mesmerising poem from the highly gifted poet
In the ancient times even stones sang poems because of sculptors' skills in Temple Art! Your poem has exposed the value of old Temple art to the world; it has to be appreciated.
And you can visualise devakanyas dance in harmony as the pillars are played in melodious permutation of swaras to the thevaram music while Meenakshi and sokkanathar dance ecstatically...nice description and subject of my place..Thank you Rema
