Raju’s temple visits: Padavedu Temples

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

There is an update to my Blog with a travelogue on

Visit to Padavedu Temples

 

 

A scenic village surrounded on all sides by Jawadu Hills, river, paddy and plantain fields

TVS has adopted the village and is maintaining all the temples very cleanly – it is one of the cleanest temple places I have ever seen

There are more than 10 ancient temples of 12th century:

 

Renugambal Temple is one of the important Sakthi Sthalams

Ramar is seen in a meditative posture with `Chin mudhra' in Sri Yoga Ramachandra moorthy temple

Sri Varadharaja Perumal temple and Sri Ammayappar temple were once buried under the sand and have been excavated and renovated

In Subramanya Swamy temple, Lord Subramania is seen standing on his peacock. Legend has it that Lord Subramania was conferred the title "Deva Senapathi" only on this hill top at the behest of Goddess Renugambal.

Sri Lakshmi Narsimhar temple is having Goddess Laskhmi seated on the right lap of Lord Narasimhar (usually She will be on the left lap)

Kailasa Vinayagar temple where the Vinayagar is about 5.5 feet high

Somasundareswar Temple where Lord Shiva is seen with Uma devi in human form but unfortunately in a vandalized condition.

Sri Venugopla Swamy Temple that is on a picturesque hill en route thick and beautiful forest with a few wooden bridges

Vel Temple, where `Vel' consecrated by Siddhar Bhogar is present

Veera Anjaneyar temple where there is a beautiful 8 feet tall Anjaneyar

Regards,

Raju
