Raju’s temple visits: Sri Swayambu Selva Vinayagar Temple at Shenbakkam, Vellore

[Guest guest]

Thank you for the link. I found it very interesting. One question please: If there is no roof for the Vinayagar, how is the idol protected when there is rain or high heat (from sun)? Thanks again PatriciaRajendran <raju0704 wrote: Dear All, There is an update to my Blog with a travelogue on Visit to Sri Swayambu Selva Vinayagar Temple at Shenbakkam near Vellore Selva Vinayagar is present surrounded by 10 other Swayambu

Vinayagars in the form of lingams and in the formation of `Om'. Selva Vinayagar is bearing the mark of the chariot wheel on His back. Aadhi Sankarar worshipped here and installed a Sri charka Temple legend is written by Kanchi Periyavar Sri Chandra Sekarendra Saraswathi Swamigal in his book `Deivathin Kural': The flag mast is present within the sanctum sanctorum itself There is no roof for the sanctum sanctorum Saneeswara Bhagwan is present facing the Selva Vinayagar which is a special significance. A Silver covering was made about 75 years back for Selva Vinayagar covering Him fully but now, it covers Him only two-thirds indicating that He is growing over time Regards, Raju
