BHOODHALINGAESWARAR TEMPLE


Distance: 

Shiva: Bhoodhalingaeswarar

Speciality:

This temple is built of stone.

This temple is completely damaged.

The deities of the temple are placed in a mandapam beside the temple.

The Linga is a Baana Linga which has been brought from River Narmada. 

There is no Amman.

Built by Cholas.

We can see the Chola tradition even in the destructed temple.

There is a temple tank beside the temple.

Sita devi worshipped this temple during her return to Ayodhya after Rama killed Ravana.

Therefore this place was named after her as Janakipuram.
