srImathE rAmAnujAya namah

This is from what adiyEn has heard from elders regarding
"gangai koNdAn maNdapam" (aka gangaNaan maNdapam, the degraded
colloquial form!) This term refers to the maNDapams
built by the chOzha king (rAja rAja chOzha?) who had the name
"gangai kONda chOzhan", and after whom "gangai koNda chOzha puram"
is named after. Apparently, he built several maNdapams in 
various divyadEsams (kAnchi and thiru-alli-k-kENi come to the
mind immediately), and set in motion several utsavams to bring 
perumAL to that maNdapam. (obviously, the brahmOtsavams would
have been done from time immemorial, but the maNtapa-p-padi at
GK maNdapams might have started only after this).

adiyEn rAmAnuja dAsan,
varadhan
