In this sacred land, there is no village without a Temple. In these villages, temples also serve as centres of social life. It is a well known fact that millions and millions of people derive great pleasure and peace of mind by worshipping the Lord in His idol forms kept in these temples.
About Sri Santhana
Gopala Krishnaswamy Temple, Sholavandhan
There is one such ancient
temple dedicated to Lord Krishna with
His consorts Rukmini & Sathyabhama
(Rukmini Sathyabhama Sametha Sri Santhana Gopala
Krishnaswamy) on the banks of the holy river Vaigai in Sholavandan,
a village in Madurai District, Tamil Nadu State of India. In this temple
complex there are temples dedicated to "Sri Hanuman"
& "Shri Ganesa" also. There
is one "Brindavanam" of "Poojyasri
Raghavendra Swami" also in this complex. This temple is more
than 300 years old. As no renovation work has been performed in this temple
for nearly 100 years, this temple needs full scale renovation urgently.
