| Description:
This is a shrine not too far from Tirukkadavur Abhirami
/Amritaghateswarar temple. It is from a well here in Tirukkadavur
Mayaanam, that water for daily ablution is taken to Tirukkadavur. The Amritaghateswarar
temple is one of the eight Veeratta Stalams of Shiva. The image above is that of the
interior of the famed Amritaghateswarar temple. The eight Veeratta
Stalams are Tiruvatikai, Tirukkurukkai,
Tirukkadavur, Tiruvazhuvur, Tirukkovalur, Tiruppariyalur, Tirukkandiyur and Tiruvirkudi.
Tirukkadavurmayaanam is considered to be the 48th in the
series of Tevara Stalams in the Chola kingdom located south of the
river Kaveri. Legends: Shiva is said to
have first vanquished Bhrama (hence the name Mayaanam) and then revived and initiated him
into the act of creating the Universe. Please refer to the Tirukkadavur
Amritaghateswarar temple for more information. |
