    The Agneeswarar temple very intresting one. I and my family members were have to go to the Temple, as per one our well wisher. As a prelude my two sons and a daughter visited the temple and told a lot about the Temple. I am eagerly waiting to see the the temple, Lord Siva ,The Amman Soundara NayaKi,and Lord Murugan. May we get the blessings of The Dieties as soon as possible to visit the Tempple.R.Karmegan.
