126. ARUNGAL

AMIRTHALINGAESWARAR TEMPLE


Distance: 6 kms from Guduvanjery

Shiva: Amirthalingaeswarar

Amman: Amirthavalli not found

Speciality:

The Linga of this temple dates before 9th Century.

This temple should have been a big temple in those days.

There is a temple pond in front of this temple.

Only the Linga and a Baanam was identified in a bush. The earlier temple must have been destroyed completely as the there are no remains left behind.

The Aavudaiyar of the Linga is square in shape.

The Baanam is placed beside the Linga.

There is an old Vinayaka temple near the pond. 

The Navagrahas has been built as later addition.

Amirthalingaeswarar and the Baanam are placed under a roof.

It is always open and can be seen at any time.
