SRI RAMA TEMPLE AT TIPRAYAR |
|
|
Some believe
that the mala, which the image holds in one of the left hands, indicates the aspect of
Brahma. Thus the deity is said to have the aspects of Trimurti, i.e. Brahma, Vishnu
and Siva.
Outside the srikoil there is an image of Ganapati. In the mandapa opposite the
sanctum sanctorum, Hanuman is believed to be present though there is no image as such.
Devotees generally bow before the mandapa imagining the presence of Hanuman there before
worshipping Sri Rama. Firing of kadinas, which is an important offering here, is to
commemorate the return of Hanuman after the search of Sita, with the words, "Drishta
Sita"-seen Sita. |
