VEDHAGIREESWARAR TEMPLE
Distance: 10kms from Guduvanchery
Shiva: Vedhagireeswarar
Amman: Thiripurasundhari
There was a temple for Vedhagireeswarar in the ancient days amidst mountains. Later the temple was damaged completely and a new temple has been built for Lord Shiva.
It is a little interior to a place called Kumizhi. It is surrounded by small hills on 3 sides.
Vedhagireeswarar faces east and Amman Thiripursundhari faces south.
Now Sannidhis for Naalvars, Vinayaka, Murugar, Suriyan, Hanuman, Bhairavar and Many other Sannidhis have been newly built in the temple.
The Powrnami Pooja celebration is very special.
People go on Girivalam around the temple on full moon days.
There is a pond which is special one. The mountain around is full of medicinal plants. In the rainy season the water from the mountains flow downwards to the pond. Since the water flows over the medicinal plants and reaches the pond this water has high medicinal value. Very rare plant species are found here. If people who visit this temple stay here for a few hours they inhale medicinal air which purifies the body.
Excellent place.... Great scope to become a tourist attraction in feature. Very nice scenic spot.

ReplyDeleteVery nice Shiva temple to visit. Though the temple is small, it is very divine and extremely peaceful. One should spend at least couple of hours here. Route is inside forest. Please go with the camera to capture the nature.
