       When weekend  comes, people used to say its a party time and we used to ask each other what's the plan for the weekend. Now its the party time for the tamed elephants in Tamil Nadu. Over three dozens of tamed elephants have been brought from different places across tamilnadu for 48 days camp in a village name Thekkampati .
         Those elephants are tethered in a large open space with lots of sugar canes, leaves and bucket full of grains which's rich in vitamins and supplements accompanied with mahouts
      These camp is been set up on the bank of Bhavani and its been wonderfully set up said a mahout. Visitors thronged the camp in large number to see these pachyderms actions like  having food, throwing mud on them  
to protect from natural sun light.

Pragadeeswarar Temple

        The vimana (main tower) of the temple is about 65 m high and is the tallest in the world.
         The temple is made up of 130,000 tons of granite.      And the most important feature of the building is that its believed,at no time of the day the shadow of the gopuram will not fall on the ground.
The temple is also an architectural exemplar showcasing the pure form of the Dravida type of temple architecture and representative of the Chola Empire ideology and the Tamilcivilisation in southern India.
