TIRUCHENGODU TEMPLE - SATYAPADI

Standing on the last step - the 60th step going by the name of Arubhadam Padi none dares speaking lie or denying the crime committed. One's own revelation or confession passes for the final word as binding as the Judge's verdict. A unique phenomenon to be admired. The liars having confessed go home happy, making the honest gain what is lost - money or fame. The joy of the accuser and accused, as the word goes defies explanation; for the former for getting back what is due and the latter for throwing off the weight of guilt sitting on their conscience.

Praising its inherent power, an Englishman built a mandap for the benefit of conducting cases. It has, indeed ushered in Dharma and people were happy and prosperous. This Satyapadi like another at Tiruvamathur, brought undying fame to our punya Bharat khand. The following unveils its glory. So read.
