other stories from Tirukkalikundram part 2


Inside the main Shiva temple in Tirukkalikundram one finds a Parvathi shrine, what is very unique. The deity is made of astagandha (8 different herbs) and only 6 other shrines in india have such a deity. The worship is very delicate as the priest has to take very much care with the handling of this deity. Abhisheka is done only once of the Birth star of Parvathi, and the Tirtha (remnands) are considered to cure any disease.

So Tirukkalikundram is very interesting to visit, even the two birds are not coming anymore. Turn in and absorb the aniquity of this place... Jaya Narasimha (picture is made from one pillar of the Vedagiri Temple)
