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

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

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.
