Dear Mr.Ranganathan,

Yes. It was the same Thiruchi Swamy who had built the beautiful Temple for Goddess Sri Rajarajeswari at his Kailasa Ashrama at Kenchenahalli near Bangalore. Permit me to digress a little and give a brief account of this holy soul. Sri Sivarathnapuri Swamy, popularly known as Thiruchy Swamy was the disciple of Swamy Shri Sivapuri Baba of Nepal. His Ashram has produced a number of dedicated Sanyasis who had taken over as heads of many important Mutts in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.Prominent among them are Sri Sri Sri Balagangatharanatha Swamy of Adi Chunchanagiri Mutt in Belur, Swamy Sivananda Bharati of Siddharuthanatha Mutt and Jeyendra Puri Swamy. All these places Patasalas are imparting Vedic or Agama Studies. Sri Swamiji was a believer in Sanatana Dharma and had silently worked for renovating many Temples in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Sri Lanka. He had been consulted by many for building new Temples according to Agamas. The famous Meenakshi Temple at Hulimavu on Bannargatta Road in Bangalore was built under his guidance. He was a Simple person and had widely travelled. He was the special guest of the Pope, when he visited Vatican, Rome.
I had visited his Ashram and Temple many times. He used to ask all Brahmin devotees to perform Sandhya Vandanam regularly.
Nagarathar Community otherwise known as Nattukotai Chettiars were instrumental in running many Veda Patasalas in Tamil Nadu. Many of the famous Temples were renovated by them without any outside help.

Regads.
