Ayiram Anaalum Mayuram Agaadhu" is an old saying. This means that there may be a thousand places with a thousand specialities; however, they can never be even compared with Mayuram (Mayiladuthurai). This saying is predominantly used even today to support and uphold the cultural heritage, agricultural and economic advancements in Mayuram

About Mayiladuthurai

Mayiladuthurai alias Mayuram (or Mayavaram) is a compact town, situated on the banks of Cauvery. Popularly it is known as the Banaras of the South India. 

It is 280 kms south of Madras and can be reached by trains going via Main line and also through road.

History of Mayuram

Mayuram means peacock in sanskrit and it was later translated as Mayiladuthurai in tamil. Lot of sidhars have lived here. Even today we find an area called Sidharkaadu, a suburb of Mayuram. Legends also tell that it was a part of Tharukavanam. 

The legend goes that Daksha did not invite his daughter Parvati, and his son-in-law Lord Siva to the sacrifice he conducted. Being vexed at the disrespectful attitude of Daksha towards him, Lord Siva sent Veerabhadra, a minor deity, to go and desecrate the sacrifice conducted by Daksha. Lord Siva at the same time instructed Parvati Devi not to attend the yaga. However, the Devi attended the yaga, disobeying her Lord's prohibition.

While Veerabhadra was desecrating the yaga, a peahen got injured and it immediately ran to Parvati Devi and took refuge under her. After everything was over, Parvati Devi repented very much for having disobeyed the Lord. To wash off the sin, she entered the fire. At the time of entering the fire, she was thinking about the peahen to which she gave refuge and so in the next birth she took the form of a peahen and came to this place. The Devi conducted penance for many years and at last attained re-union with Lord Siva. Hence the place came to be known as Mayuram or Mayavaram (Mayuram means peahen). The Lord of the temple came to be known as Mayuranatha. The other names by which this place is known are Sudavanam, Sikliandipuram, Brahmapuram, and Brahmavanam etc. The Devi is known as Abhayapradambika, Abhayambika, Anjalanayaki, Anjalai, etc., meaning one who gave refuge to the peahen.

Apartments for sale in chennai

In this post let us have a look at some of the ways in which the drainage is disposed in a more environmentally sound method. In this method, all a Chennai builder has to do is to construct septic tanks or leech pits in which the drainage system is drained. The excess water in the drainage is absorbed by the soil around. The water seeps through the soil slowly by which time the fine soil materials acts as a filter before the water percolates the ground water table. The solid waste is left behind to compost and in this process good garden manure is also left as a by-product.

A slight innovation in the above said method is the use of Eco-san toilets. In rural India, eco-san toilets are increasingly promoted by many NGO. But this system has not been introduced to the urban areas. Chennai builders can cash in on this lovely environmentally sustainable model of sewage disposal as this system does not require extensive pipes, drains or even water.

The common goal of any environmentally sound sewage disposal that needs to be taken note by any Chennai builder who wish to employ this method in their apartment complex and innovate are the systems needs to prevent infection thereby health conscious, it needs to protect the environment by not polluting and wasting water, the system needs to recycle back to the soil what has been taken. One another system is collection of grey-water which is the water collected from kitchen sinks, wash basins, bath tub etc. This grey-water collected is used for flushing toilets. In this ingenious but simple method more than 65% water can be saved. Builders in Chennai need to take note of the fact and can include this method as a USP in their upcoming projects. Raindrops Promoters, a renowned Chennai builder has taken a note of this point and may be employing this method in their upcoming projects.

Chennai builders can also contribute to creating a green future by constructing Flats in Chennai which lets out the collected grey-water in a small man made pond like structure near which a garden can be grown. This can enhance the greenery in the project area. Plants like Canna Indica (Kalvaazhai in Tamil), having the ability to absorb hard polluting elements in the waste, can be grown in the immediate vicinity of the grey-water mini-pond.
