Puranic Significance

A Shiva temple today is a testament to the history of the fruit. To the east is the center of the large pond and opposite is the large pond. The Great Temple is also a line poem today that has undergone many distortions. Lord Arunachaleswarar and Goddess Unnamulaiyamma are on the south side with the upper hall and the sanctum facing east. Nandi is in the small hall outside the hall. At the entrance of the sanctum sanctorum is the great Ganesha and Valli Deivanai-Murugan. At the back of the prakaram are five large lingams placed on the balconies. These may have been in the perimeter hall of the temple. The sanctum line has a small south face and a small durga. Sanders is there too. The sun and moon are in the front hall. Some of the new planets are broken and missing. The cement floor between Nandi and the Lord has been turned into a paddy field and a large plot of land for the temple and harvesting carts. The government has built a school building and an overhead water tank on one side as if the unheard of property in the city belongs to Shiva. When will the non-oily garments, the abode, the lamp and the flower be available to anyone other than the original idols? This is followed by Pooja, Punaskaram, Aakam and 1000 crore rivers that lose their name shape and speed when they mix in the sea. Similarly the man has his name. The principle of anointing is to realize this. # “With the kind permission of Sri Kadambur K. Vijayan, these are extracted from his posts”.
