Moolavar: Sri Jambukeswarar
Amman: Sri Akhilandeswari
A beautiful small temple that has been recently built in the village of Thriruvankaranai. The way this temple came into being is quite interesting as well as quite inspiring too.
It is said that the villagers here has been requesting for a Shivalayam for some time and a local Iyangar bhattachar named Sri Srikanth initiated the efforts and gathered the villagers together and approached few trusts in Chennai like Gurukataksham Trust and Thirukovil Vazhipadu Khuzu team and under the guidance of Sri Chrompet Kannan maama and the support of Avalur Venkataramanan and Avalur Manoharan, this temple work was undertaken in a rapid 108 days scheme. The decision of site and construction was taken on 17th Mar 2022 and on 17th Jun 2022 the Mahakumbhabishekam was performed.
The lingabanam here has a good story behind it. A person named Sri London Venkatraman had a dream that he is supposed to travel to India and go through the river Narmada and pick up Sivalingams from underneath. So based on this dream he came down to India and travelled 30 kms across Narmada on a boat and took dips in prominent points showed by the boat man and had picked up 19 Narmada Shivlingams. These lingams are naturally formed under the river. All 19 linga banams were handed over to Sri Kanchi Madam and was kept at the Adhishtanam in Orikai.
When the villagers approached Sri Chrompet Kannan mama, he took them to Bala Periyava at Orikai in Kanchipuram and got them this beautiful Shivalinga Banam for this temple. And interestingly Bala Periyava's blessing was given in the form of naming this temple moolavr as Jambukeswarar and Ambal as Akhilandeswari. The most astonishing thing is since the time the Yagasalai for Kumbhaishemak was erected, rains have been pouring continuously in middle of June which is very rare, and just to show that Sri Jambukeswarar who is known for water in the Pachabootha sthalam is really blessed this village with water during the kumbhabhishekam event.
It has been a blessing for our team also to have played a small role in supporting this noble cause and we thank the Gurukataksham trust for the opportunity.
Currently Mandalabhishekam is going on and a Kurkal has been appointed to take care of the daily puja kaingaryam. This temple even celebrated its first Pradosham on 26th June 2022.
A must visit place for all, especially to see the beauty of Narmada lingam which is naturally formed so perfectly.
