Location
editThis temple is located at Nagesvarar Tirumanchana Veedhi. This temple is known as Bhagavadh Vinayakar and Bhagava Vinayakar. The ghat connected with this temple and the Cauvery ghat are very near to the temple.[2]
History
editBhagavar Maharishi resided in Vedaranyam.[3] His mother on her deathbed asked him to gather her ashes after her death and dissolve them in the place when they turned into flower.After her death he went to several places. When he came to Kumbakonam and was taking bath in Cauvery, his disciple opened the pot which contained the ashes. He thought it might have some food. To his surprise there were flowers instead of ashes. He kept mum, without telling anything to his guru. The guru was on the thinking that it would bloom only in Kasi. During his trip to Kasi he was shocked as ashes did not bloom into river. At that time his disciple narrated the incident which happened at Kumbakonam. Then he took them again to Kumbakonam and after his bath in the Cauvery, he saw ashes were turned into flower. Later he dissolved the ashes in the Cauvery. Then the guru and disciple came to know that Kumbakonam was more holy than Kasi and worshipped the Vinayaga. Since then the temple came to be known as Bhagavadh Vinayaga Temple.[4]

Gerardo Murillo Cornado, was the real name of the artist known as Dr. Atl. He was an avid researcher of nature, and he is considered to be the ideologist of the Muralist Movement, since he imposed a style that was later absorbed by Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, José Clemente Orozco, José Chávez Morado, among other renowned artists.[1]
Atl began his studies in art at the workshop of Felipe Castro and finished at the Academy of San Carlos. In addition to his penchant to the plastic arts, he became interested in literature, and wrote stories, novels, poetry and even wrote his own biography Profane People in the convent [Gentes profanes en el convento], 1950, in which he described his passion for nature as well as the Mexican landscape: nothing has ever provoked in me a feeling as deep as walking for three or four days to reach the high slopes of a mountain, settle amongst them in a cave or in a makeshift hut, and draw pleasantly as nature appeared before my eyes.[2]
From his travels through the mountains and volcanoes of Mexico he took inspiration for his paintings such as Sunlight between the Mountains [Rayos de sol entre la sierra], where he found the telluric force for expressive landscape validating it through color and violent strokes, which would become the guidelines for modern painting in Mexico. The study of these new insights led him to create the technique called aeropaisaje or which consists in the reproduction of full views taken from a helicopter where he made his reconnaissance trips.
