In
the holy picnic town of Kutralam, there is a little, yet charming
Sivan kovil, enshrining a big Sivalinga, going by the name of
Kutralanathar. It has the proud privilege of receiving worship by
almost all devout bhaktas and chance picnic tourists after bath, who
visit the waterfalls for bath, presuming a dip in the water cures
skin diseases. And soon after the bath, all, invariably direct their
steps into the mandir for soulful worship, invoking the Lord to cure
their malady - mental or physical. And Lord Siva too is bestowing
boons and lifting them in accordance with the merit of devotion. He
never left piety cry in wilderness. The temple, though small
contains all the Saivate gods.
It
is very near to Tirunelveli, the district head quarters town of the
same name in Tamil Nadu.
