TIRUVANAIKAVAL - THE SEAT OF JALALINGA

Regarding the name of Jambukeswar, once there lived a maharshi called Jambu, who did tapas at this spot and pleased the Lord. Satisfied with his ardent penance, Lord Siva has been abiding in the name of Jambukeswar here in accordance with the wish of that Maharshi. The Jambu tree is still seen in full splendour here behind the shrine testifying to the account embedded in the puranas.

Thus this holy thirtha kshetra is doubly important owing to the Lord's appearance as Apomurthi, and emancipating the adorers in an exemplary spectacular way. A visit-worthy pilgrim centre. (For more, read AGS No.4).

Our visit to Srikalahasti materialises the darsan of Vayumurti manifested in a big linga.
