Nutshell
Renovation
The shrines of the ancient Sri Adikesava Perumal Temple, Valleepuram Village & Post (via) Ponvilindakalathur, Kanchipuram District-603 405, where Nitya Aradhana and utsavams were performed till about 30 years ago, is a shambles now. The aradhana too is a thing of the past because the temple has no archakar. The Adikesava Kainkarya Trust has embarked on `Project Renovation and Restoration of Glory' of the temple at Valleepuram at a cost of about Rs.25 lakhs. Contributions to the cause may be sent as cheques or drafts made in the name of the trust and sent to No. 291, Vanchinathan Street, Senthil Nagar, Chennai - 600 062. (Ph: 2637 0937)

Funds sought
Sri Bhakta Anjaneyar Temple, at AG's Colony, Kottivakkam, will be renovated and Maha Kumbabhishekam performed in Jan-Feb 2006. As the existing structure is weak, a new one with a two-tier vimanam and arthamandapam will be built in Phase I of the project. Phase II will involve the building of a mahamandapam, an auditorium and a library. The estimated cost of Phase I is about Rs.10 lakhs. Devotees who wish to donate for the cause may send cheques or drafts drawn in favour of Sri Bhaktha Anjaneyar Temple — Maha kumbabhishekam Account, to Sri Bhaktha Anjaneyar Cultural Charitable and Spiritual Association, Fourth Cross Street, AG's Colony, Kottivakkam, Chennai - 600 041.
