Vaaram Oru Alayam Episode #13 (Arulmigu Periya Anjaneyar Thirukovil,Ambur)

[Guest guest]

This week's Podcast is about " Arulmigu Periya Anjaneyar

Thirukovil,Ambur. "

 

The story has been glorified in a temple in Ambur in Vellore

district which dates back to centuries. The 11-foot idol of

Hanuman carved out of hard black stone has Saneeswara under his foot.

The idol and the temple are believed to have been renovated probably

in 1489, during the period of Krishanadevaraya of Vijayanagar

kingdom who then ruled this region. An inscription found in one

corner of the temple testifies to this fact. In 1976, the temple

was taken over by the HR & CE department of the State Government. In

1987, Maha Kumbabishekam was performed.

Interestingly, the main deity Hanuman is place in one corner of the

sanctum sanctorum facing south. This is considered a rarity in

India. It is believed that, because devotees lit oil lamps at this

temple, it got rid of the harmful effects of Saneeswara, in one

stroke. The temple has been drawing thousands of devotees

steadily.

 

In the eastern corner of Ambur town, in a place called Anaimadugu, a

rocky foot print, believed to be that of Hanuman, receives special

poojas once a year during the Hanuman Jayanthi celebrations. It is

said that Hanuman holding the Parvatha hills in one hand and

standing on Saneeswara made a big leap from here to cross the Indian

Ocean to reach Sri Lanka where he gave the herb to revive Lakshmana.
