About Thepperumanallur Shiva Temple
Theperumanallur Vedanta Nayaki Sametha Viswanathar Temple aka Theperumanallur Shiva Temple was in news a quite a few years ago. A cobra was seen plucking Bilva leaves from the tree in the temple, and performing archana to the Linga before solar eclipse. There are lots of video footages in the internet giving the entire picture. Let us take a look at this temple, where this miracle has happened.
Architecture And Speciality
Thepperumanallur is close to Thirunageswaram, Kumbakonam. The Lord here is covered with Rudraksha Kavach and the archana is done with Rudrakshas only. The Rudrakshas used are from 1 faced to 12 faced. Hence the Lord is called Rudreshwarar. The temple is said to be even more powerful, than the 12 Jyotirlingas . In fact, it is said, the Lord here has all the powers of the 12 Jyotirlingas compiled here, making this place very unique. Another important feature is the idol of Dakshinamurthy. It is said that the Dakshinamurthy here is very powerful, even compared with the Lord in Alangudi, the place devotees flock to get relieved from the adverse effects of Jupiter.The temple is seen in a very small complex, where there are shrines for Lord Ganesha, Muruga and navagrahas. The temple is known for bestowing children for the devotees and removing doshas of Rahu and Kethu. This ancient temple is now seen in a condition that can worry the devotees.
Cobra Doing Puja Event
However, it has seemed to gained some popularity with the cobra doing puja. This happened in 2015 January, and pictures clearly show the snake plucking the leaves, carrying it in the mouth, and then offering it to the god. The temple also is a place to get rid of generations of birth.
