SRI RAMA TEMPLE AT TIPRAYAR |
|
|
| Though the
deity is in the Vishnu form, in the srikoil itself there is an image of Dakshinamoorti
facing south, which is commonly found in Siva temples. There is also a lamp behind
the image which is kept burning all the time. Because of these and also because of
the fact that people got relief when troubled by evil spirits chathan-the deity is
believed to have a Siva aspect also. It was after
killing the asura, Khara that Sri Rama got both the Saiva and Vaishnava aspects.
Thus some pundits are of the opinion that the Pratishta here is that of Rama after
killing Khara. |
