DHARMAPURI |
|
|
| This Kshetra since
that time is called Dharmapuri after the name of Dharma Varma who actually strove for the
vision of the Lord. Brahma also came to be worshipped in this temple, since Dharma Varma
first did penance to Brahma, and hence in the temple of Dharmapuri there is the image of
Lord Brahma, which is very rare in temples. The
other important deities of this temple are a big idol of Yama at the gate and an idol of
Murali Krishna, and another of Balarama, the two latter being kept at the inner gate.
There are also eight idols of Lord Hanuman around the temple. The Brahma idol is a big one
about 6 feet high with four faces. |
