VenkatesaPerumal Thirukovil ThiruMukkoodal

[natar_77]

This week’s Podcast is about “Appan Venkatesaperumal Thirukovil”. ThiruMukkoodal is a place where where 3 rivers(seyyaaRu,paalaRu and vedavathi) converge.
This temple is maintained ASI. A very huge temple, which is very differently built. Like the perumaL sannidhi entrance is from the side. And it comes very close to the outer compound. Not much gap actually. Since this is very close to the river, there are chances of floods coming inside the temple. If you carefully observe at the mandapam’s behind the main sannidhi, you will find a decent drainage system for the water to flow. This temple must be easily around 1200-1500 years old according to the priest!
The Lord at Thirumukkoodal is considered a manifestation of Lord Siva, Brahma and Narayana. His crown looks like the matted locks of Siva and He has a third eye on the forehead.
He wears the Shanku and Chakra like Lord Narayana on His left and right hand and a lotus in one of His hands. He also stands on the lotus which is the symbol of Brahma.
