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

[Guest guest]

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
