KUMBHAKONAM

SRI RAMASWAMI TEMPLE

This temple his very near the to the Adi Kubheswarar shrine. It is an old one but very attractive and possesses many architectural adornments and sculptural embellishments.  The Dasavatara representation on stone and the brightly coloured frescoes on the walls and ceiling are a feast to the eyes.  

The images of the Moolavar - Sri Rama is giving darsan here in his coronation robes. Strange to find here Hanuman in the pose of singing to the accompaniment of Veena, sitting before his istadaivams - Rama and Sita. This temple celebrates Navaratri festival with great éclat.  Prayer services are offered according to Vaikhanasa Agama.  For Rama bhaktas, a darsan is elevating and visit unburdens them off their bundle of cares.
