170. KAVANUR

RAMANADHAESWARAR TEMPLE


Distance:

Shiva: Ramanadhaeswarar

Amman: Parvadavarthini


When Rama went in search of Sita he installed and worshipped this Shiva. Rama Assigned Hanuman to bring a Linga for his worship but since Hanumn was late Rama installed a Linga on his own. The Linga brought by Hanuman has been placed outside the temple and called Hanuman Lingaeswarar. Therefore Shiva is called as Ramanadhaeswarar. After Killing Ravana when Rama was on his way to Ayodhya with Sita he again worshipped this temple. There is a Vaibhava Lakshmi Sannidhi in this temple which denotes Sita (Sita is Vaibhava Lakshmi). This temple is on a small hill with a few steps. This temple was also worshipped by Sekizhar.
