TIRUKKOILUR

ONTHE TOWERS, WATERS AND ARANYAS

THE TOWERS

The temple has two unusually huge and lofty towers visible to miles a far, and the ring of sanctity hovering over them raises the palms of the devout at their mere sight itself. Tradition has that if a darsan of them assures janmarahitya. Besides instilling bhakti instincts, they send thrills in the spines by their imposing height and sculptural excellences. Pilgrims utter Bhagawan's name at their sight and it is believed that the darsan of the vimana confers special merits, like relieving devotee from the cycle of births and deaths.
