THE TEMPLE
This holy place sanctified by that humanitarian doctor Vaideeswaran
- greatest among the Vaidyas, is enshrining the Swayambhu Sivalinga
of that Bliaktavasankar. Theist monarches built many vast Mandapams,
enclosures, mini-shrines later and made
it a yatrasthala of great importance. It emerged as an architectural
marvel of high order, with the benign touch of royalty.
The Pallava
architectural pattern predominates. It is quite spacious surrounded
by two high sturdy prakarams and four tall towers. And it stands
exceedingly majestic, heightening the beauty of the landscape. It
faces West. It has two tanks called Siddhamritha Thirtham and
Jatayukundam inside the prakara. And a bath in them cures all the
skin diseases.
