| 29th August was a special day in the lives
of the employees of Chemplast Sanmar’s Salt Works at Vedaranyam
and the local public. The kumbhabhishekam or consecration ceremony
of the Vinayaka (another name for Lord Ganesa) temple at the
works was performed on that day by renowned priests. There was
active and enthusiastic participation from all the employees
and the local populace. Senior executives of the Chlorochemicals
Division present at the function included S Subramanian, Executive
Director, A Janakiraman, President and V Ramachandran, Vice
President. |
| A kumbhabhishekam, the most important
ceremony at any temple, is performed when a new temple is consecrated
or renovations are made. It was in 1967 that a Vinayaka idol
was found and consecrated by an enthusiastic employee of the
Salt Works. From then on, every activity there has started with
a puja invoking the blessings of the deity. In 1972, a temple
was built under the guidance and supervision of Sri Vanmeeganatha
Sthapathi of Mahabalipuram and a kumbhabhishekam was performed,
followed by another in 1985. A significant event in the history
of the temple was the puja performed there by His Holiness Jayendra
Saraswati of the Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham |
