Maha Shivaratri 2020 – Kanchipuram Shiva Temples Visit- 17
21st February 2020.
The visit to this Ekambaranathar Temple was a part of 2020 Maha Shivaratri Temples Visit, on 21st February 2020. After Kayarohaneshwarar Temple’s visit, our next destination was to this temple in side Thiruvaduthurai Adheenam Madam at Pillayar Palayam.
Moolavar : Sri Ekambaranathar
Some of the Salient features of this temple are.....
Sannadhis of Arul thiru Sivagnana Munivar, Sri Meikandar and Arulthiru Kachiappa Munivar are immediately after the entrance arch. The Ekambaranathar sannadhi / temple is inside the mutt. This temple is facing east, only with sanctum, Balipedam and Nandhi. There is no vimana. Believed that this Shiva Linga belongs to Pallava period, where this Thirukayilaya Parambarai Thiruvaduthurai Adheenam now exists. This post is mainly to focus on the Saints Sri Sivagnana Munivar and Kachiappa Munivar, both wrote the Kanchipuram, attained Mukthi in Kanchipuram.
Even though the Sri Ekambaranathar temple is located in side Adheenam premises, stayed and worshiped by Sivagnana Munivar & Kachiappa Munivar, both had not mentioned about this temple in Kanchipuranam.
