Sri Kubera Eswarar Temple (Kubera Lingam), Sundaracholapuram

 











Moolavar: Sri Kuberaeswarar
Amman: Sri Vembunayaki

This temple is found to the North of the Thiruverkadu Vedapureeswarar Temple and is the 7th lingam in the Ashta lingam around Thiruverkadu.

The temple is in middle of the village and in earlier days the sivalingam was beneath a Neem tree from which the villagers found milk flowing out. After looking at it carefully found a sivalingam and built the current temple and named the goddess Vembunayagi.

Sundaracholapuram is western suburb of Chennai coming under Chennai Metropolitan Area.

It is presumed to be from the time of the reign of the great CHOLA King KULOTHUNGA CHOLA II, (1133 - 1150 CE) about 800 years ago or more and must have passed through many dynasties.
