Nagu Satyan said: >>Along the way Daasarathy established the following five Narayana divya sthalams (sacred places)--1) Keerthi Narayana at Thaayak-kaatil, 2) Sriman Narayana at Thondanoor, 3) Veera Narayana at Karukala, 4) Vijaya Narayana at Vijayapuram and 5) Kesava Narayana at Belur.<<< In this list Keerthi Narayana temple at Thaayak-kaatil is known popularly as (TALAKADU) and that is my native village. My father's great grand father Sri Raghnatha tatachar migrated to Talakadu. This place has over 2000 years of history and I hope to post it sometime. The keerti Narayana temple stays half buried in sand and is quite beautiful and unique. Talkadu is a strong Shiva ksetram with pancha linga darshanam etc. I was ubder the impression that Ramanuja established this temple, but appears like it is his close companion Sri Dasharathi. -K.
