The famous mango tree within the Ekambareswarar Temple. This tree is said to be about 3,500 years old. (This picture was taken two/three years back. More recent pics of this tree show that the tree is no longer standing.) Here is where Lord Shiva, as Ekambaranathar appeared before Parvathi. If you can read tamil, this detail can be seen in the pic below.

Yup struck down by lightning during these rains they tell me. I never belived it was 3000 years old but anyway :-)
Yes - 3,500 years does sound a bit incredible.
Nice shot. You should do some panorama on your next visit to a temple.
Sure, Maran, will try.
