TIRUCHENDUR

THE SANCTUM SANCTORUM

The charming idol of Balasubrahmanya with tour hands and one face adorns the girbha griha and it is the replica of the beautiful form, he assumed, before war with Surapadma.  The processional deities of the Lord are placed in the Senthil Nayagar shrine lying to the left of this Moolavar. The Shanmuga shrine, an architectural marvel facing south lies next to it and it is sanctified with the Adi Sankara's Bhujangam written on the walls.  

This enchanting life-size stature holding the various weapons in his twelve hands, indeed transports the visitors to other world for a moment. Next to it lies a mini-shrine containing the bronze status of Nataraja, Sambandar, Appar, Sundarar, Manickavachagar, Saint Cheraman, the Chera King of great fame.  This assembly of gods of all major 'ISMS' of Hinduism lying side by side impresses everyone that it is a Harihara Kshetra of supreme type, made accessible to one and all without exception or division.
