TN’s pride Ilaiyaraaja Music Maestro Ilaiyaraaja has been nominated to the Rajya Sabha by the President of India.
From humble beginnings to national achievement, his life is an inspiration
The veteran music maestro from Tamil Nadu, who is fondly known as Isaignaani by fans, has been a prolific composer, lyricist, conductor and even a singer on occasion. Credited with having composed more than 7,000 songs in over 1,400 movies, primarily in Tamil, he has also worked in Malayalam, Telugu and Hindi cinema. Ilaiyaraaja is known for introducing western musical elements in South Indian cinema. He has received five national awards, three for best music direction and two for best background score. He was awarded the Padma Bhushan and the Padma Vibhushan, the third and second highest civilian awards given by the government of India. And now he has been nominated to the Rajya Sabha as a recognition of his contribution to the world of music. His life has been inspirational; hailing from humble beginnings he has proven that whatever the beginning, it’s up to us to carve out the journey and scale the heights of achievement. The recognition given to Ilaiyaraaja is recognition given to all Tamil people, a proud moment indeed for Tamil Nadu. SMITI JAIN NARAYAN

Plan smooth and wonderful leisure vacations - only with Jai Sun Tourism BY SMITI JAIN NARAYAN
E
veryone needs a break to refresh from the daily grind, and what better way than to undertake a small vacation. Jai Sun Tourism is here to guide and plan the best customised holidays and leisure tours, according to your budget, time availability and personal preferences. A one-day outing qualifies as a picnic. A day and a night is an overnight trip. For travel to be called a leisure holiday or vacation, it should be for a minimum period of 3-4 days to a place of interest. Vacations can be planned for couples, families, friends, larger groups and according to the group profile, destinations and packages can be tailor made. A holiday can be to another city or another country, looking at number of days and amount to splurge. Indians like to go sightseeing to exotic locales and good food is also an important factor that people look for, especially with family travel. Within India, most popular leisure destinations include Goa, Kashmir, Gangtok in Sikkim, Darjeeling, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Kerala, Kovalam Beach, Marari Beach near Kochi, Kodaikanal, Ooty… the list is long and depending on number of days ranging from 2-4 or 4-6, it can be decided. Internationally the most in demand choices are Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Bali, Azerbaijan, Turkey, Uzbekistan, Dubai among others and these need about a week’s holiday ideally. For South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Mauritius, you should keep at least one full week’s time. Europe, London, Rome, Paris, Switzerland, Zurich, Vienna and other places in the European sector, Australia are ideal for a 10-15 day tour. USA and Canada need two weeks or more for a good vacation as there is so much to see and do in a vast space. There are also exotic Arctic Circle tours for the adventurous. Proper planning is very important for a relaxed holiday, and ticketing, visas, hotels, transports, local sightseeing, nightlife, recreational outings, special needs, customised food plans – are all managed smoothly with expert itinerary planning from Jai Sun for maximum enjoyment.

ARULMIGU EACHANARI VINAYAGAR Located 10 kms from Coimbatore on Pollachi Road, it is one of the oldest temples in Coimbatore and dates back to 1500 AD.

AVINASHI TEMPLE
AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY
One of the best institutions of its kind in south Asia, the Agricultural University was originally established as an agriculture farm in Saidapet, Chennai. The location was moved to Coimbatore in 1907 and the name was changed to Agricultural COIMBATORE
This temple is 40 km from Coimbatore and is known as a pilgrim city and ‘the Banaras of the South’. The Cholas built the Avanashilingeswarar temple during the 12th century. It is the biggest temple of the district and the minute and wellshaped carvings and sculptures are a joy to watch. 2022 | JULY | 23
CITY SIGHTS AYYAPPAN TEMPLE The holy Ayyappan temple is revered by both the locals and tourists alike. The magnificent temple was constructed in 1976 by the Sri Dharma Sastha Baktha Jana Sabha. It bears striking resemblance to the Ayyappan temple in Sabarimala. CSI ALL SOULS’ CHURCH
The CSI All Souls church is 138 years old and one of the oldest buildings in Coimbatore. This structure reflects the gothic revival style of architecture with its pointed arches and is characteristic of an Anglican Parish. The building was consecrated for worship on NOVEMBER27, 1872 by Bishop Gell. Reverend Henry Pope was the first resident Chaplin. The walls are of Ashlar masonry and the steeple houses the belfry. A Porch was added at the western end in 1902 in memory of King Edward VII. The windows are of exquisite stained glass and the church is a unique example of a British church built with materials of the region. DHYANALINGA The Dhyanalinga Multi-Religious Temple is situated at Vellingiri foothills about 30kms from Coimbatore. Dhyanalinga was consecrated by mystic and yogi Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev after three years of ‘prana prathista’ (process of charging the idol). Measuring 13 feet, 9 inches, Dhyanalingam is assumed to be the largest mercury-based live linga in the world. In its presence, it requires only minutes to make even those unaware of meditation to experience
a state of deep meditative trance and feel the divine energy that overflows from this glorious form. The free-spanning dome that enshrines the Dhyanalingam measures 77 inches diameter and is the largest of its kind in the world. It is said that this divine instrument radiates seven different qualities on seven different days of the week by which one can derive various benefits. FLOWER MARKET
Coimbatore’s art of garland-making and its garland makers hold a special place in south India. The art has grown to such prominence that it has fuelled a dedicated flower market. The fragrance of lilies, jasmines, roses, lotuses and native flowers like shenbagam are a treat to the factory senses. One can spend hours watching the nimble movement of the flower artists as they tread wreaths, hair adornments and garlands. FOREST COLLEGE MUSEUM Spread over 66 hectares, the Southern forest ranger’s college is one of the oldest institutions of its kind in the country. Situated 3.5 kms from the Coimbatore Railway Station, it is worth a visit to see Museum of Natural History which is housed within the College campus. The museum and the neighbouring Botanical Garden have nearly 300 species of rare and endangered plants. Apart from plants, the museum also has an interesting collection of different minerals, rocks, pests, snakes, insects and fungal diseases that afflict plants and trees.

Raviraj began work on this new centre of fine arts in 2012. Situated at the foothills of the mountains, students get to learn the arts in the lap of nature. Over here, you can buy art pieces, learn the fine arts and hold cultural performances. With a nominal entry fee, it’s affordable to all. The promoters intend to create professional artistes. The idea is to recreate a Gurukul-style of learning atmosphere with residential facilities. This will lead to a better interaction between the students and teachers. There will be no exam, but the students will be continuously assessed. They will also get a chance to interact with the students of Lalit kalakshetra alongside. The promoters intend to fund the course fees and provide free accommodation for deserving students. And that will be after a three-month assessment by the teachers. COIMBATORE

KOVAI IS TALKING ABOUT… TGR FEAST
A super special banquet package for delectable world cuisines – By Chef Saravanakumar
Y
ou’ve heard about TGR (The Grand Regent). And you’ve heard about the feast. But now there’s something new – It’s TGR Feast! Yes, at The Grand Regent we have now clubbed both and made a super special banquet package in the hotel. The concept flashed in my mind when I was thinking about how to enhance our hospitality. When I entered our General Manager’s office with the proposal, it took him just a few seconds to give me the green signal to go ahead. Next was planning and execution which didn’t take much time. The most powerful amongst all advertising tools – word of mouth – was deployed. And everything fell in place and came together on track. It’s the first time in Coimbatore that such a lavish banquet buffet is on offer. With 75+ food varieties including 15 live food counters of various cuisines, all at one place. There are even millets used in a major way for the health conscious.

A GASTRONOME’S DELIGHT
Indian, Pan-Asian, Mexican, Continental, Italian, Fusion…
F
oodies in Coimbatore are known to travel long distances, if only to sample the best rasamrice or biryani in town. Adding to their sense of adventure is that they don’t have to leave the city to sample the world’s kitchens, be it Mexican, Thai, Chinese, Italian, American or Pan-Asian. But the best food in Kovai is the local finger-licking good South Indian fare: idlis, dosas, utthappam, rice, sambar, rasam and yoghurt either served on a sparkling stainless-steel plate or a banana leaf. And the musthave Madras Filter Coffee which is the best concoction to fill you with vigour and vivre! There is lots more of typical dishes to be savoured... payasam, kootu, koozh, puttu... go on this culinary journey of joy!

ush green mountains and plantations abound in Ooty. Spread over 36 sq km, it’s 7350 feet above sea level. Vast plantations of eucalyptus, pine and wattle stretch between the few untouched meadows that remain of the pre-British Ooty. It’s the perfect destination to get away from it all in the lap of nature’s bounty and serenity. Here is where you can rewind, reboot, and restart your life every season. With temperatures relatively consistent throughout the year, it’s the best summer retreat for anyone wanting to beat the summer heat. Sightsee, relax, chill…
DESTINATION OOTY LANDMARKS & MONUMENTS COONOOR
At a slightly lower altitude (2000 metres), this is the second largest hill station in the Nilgiri Hills and is a small tea garden town where the weather remains pleasantly cool throughout the year. The place is perfect for trekking and picnicking, with grassy spots and spectacular views. It is famous for bird watching and birds such as vultures, eagles, owls, bulbuls, thrushes, bablers, larks, cuckoos and robins. KANDAL CROSS SHRINE
A Roman Catholic Shrine, this is considered the Jerusalem of the East. Catholics consider the shrine as the ‘Calvary of Tamil Nadu’. Special Novena Prayers and Holy Masses are offered every Friday. The annual feast is held on 3rd JULY. NILGIRIS LIBRARY It is a treasure trove of precious documents, biographies and old books, many of them rare volumes on travel and Ooty. The library was begun as a public reading room and later built up as it stands today, in 1868. Today, it is run by a private committee. OOTY CLUB This club offers entertainment as well as information. It has a collection of albums of yellowing photographs, newspaper clippings and hand-drawn cards, among other things. The club building was originally the mansion of Sir William Rumbold, a wealthy businessman from Hyderabad, who built it in the 1820s. Regal, imposing and exclusive, the club is still maintained as it was in British time. The club is for members and their guests only.
COIMBATORE
STONE HOUSE This is the first bungalow to be built in town, which was the residence of John Sullivan, the founder of Ooty and at that time, the collector of Coimbatore. The tribals gave it its name – ‘Kal Bangla’ meaning Stone House. ST STEPHEN’S CHURCH AND GRAVEYARD This Protestant Church was Ooty’s first Church. One of the few remaining examples of original Anglican architecture in Ooty, it’s a Gothic, castle like structure, reminiscent of English village Churches. Adjoining the church is an old English cemetery. THE MUSEUM Opened in NOVEMBER1989, this museum has a collection of objects unique to the district, including timber, insects, butterflies, rocks, wood carvings, Kurinji flower, stone sculptures, bronze works, models of Toda hut and coins.
PARKS & GARDENS BOTANICAL GARDEN The gardens were established in 1847 by the Marquis of Tweeddale and now maintained by the Agricultural Department of the Tamil Nadu government. From JULY-JULY, an Annual Flower Show is held by the Nilgiris Agro-Horticultural Society and the Dog Show of the South India Kennel Club. A few minutes’ climb up from the garden is Toda Mund – ‘Othak-kal-man-thu’ (one stone village) – from which Ooty (Ootacamund) derived its name. Adjacent to the garden is Raj Bhavan used by governors when they are on tour. OOTY LAKE
This small artificial lake was conceived in 1824 by John Sullivan as an irrigation tank. Hardly 4 sq. km in area, the lake is much frequented by picnickers. Row boats, paddle boats and motor boats are available for hire. The boat house also has a restaurant and a children’s garden. CENTENARY ROSE GARDEN This rose garden was established at Vijayanagaram in Ooty, covering four hectares in five terraces, to commemorate the centenary Flower Festival in NOVEMBER1995.

There are about 2150 varieties of roses in the Rose Garden, one of the largest such collections in India.

It contains several species of trees and shrubs that cannot be grown in the colder climate of Ooty.
