NALLATHUR PONNAMBALANATHAR KOIL , NEAR CUDDALORE - PONDYCHERI
It is noteworthy that Mahameru (the standing form Sri Chakra)
is installed under the Feet of Mother Maha Tirupurasundari.
Though a Shiva Temple, all importance goes to Lord Muruga. Skanda Sashti in October-November is the Brahmmotsavam of the temple. The flag post of the tempe is before the shrine of Lord Muruga. Lord Sundara Vinayaka, as the very name aptly suggests, is very handsome. Those having pimples or scars in face worship Sundara Vinayaka applying sandal paste.
There is a sculpture in the Maha mandap of the temple depicting Maha Saraswathi-Goddess of wisdom- playing the Veena named Karna Vidayini. Those aspiring higher education and educational skills worship Mother Karna Vidayini.
The Dwarapalakas (securites) at the entrance of shrine are close to the wall in Shiva temples. Here, they are conveniently placed with sufficient space around and the devotee can circumambulate them with prayers.
There is a shrine for Lord Kalasamhara Murthy who hit Lord Yama the God of Death to protect Sage Markandeya. Those aspiring longevity perform pujas here. Maha Mryutyanja Homa (a ritual to beat Lord Yama) is performed in the temple on Tiruvadhirai day in December-January. The place is also revered as Vada (north) Tirukadayur where Lord Amruthakadeswarar hit Yama to protect Sage Markandeya. As it is too ancient in age, it is difficult to explain the history of the temple clearly. The structures are really wonderful. It is said that Shivalingas being looked into through holes are of Fire nature. The devotee cannot have that power of the body or soul to see the Lord directly. It is believed that worshipping through wall holes gives the devotee the strength and power to do his/her prayers.
The Navagraha Yantra – a disc in which the powers of the planets are collectively embodied – is installed under the feet of the presiding deity Lord Swarnapureeswarar. There is also a Nandhi Mandap. A five minute prayer in the temple is believed to be equal to prayers of years. Those suffering from breathing and stomach troubles pray to Sun on the first day of Adi falling in July and on the first day of Thai falling mostly on January 14, offering orange coloured clothes and wheat preparations as Dhan. This is a suitable place for performing tarpan and ceremonies for ancestors also. Sivan Faces at East. Among the temples there is type of salara temple. Which has no entrance Before Moolavar. Devotees have to worship the Shivalingas through windows.
