04th February 2019.
As a part of Kongu Temples Heritage visit, After Sri Neelakandeswarar dharshaan had been to this temple just opposite to Shiva Temple on 04th Feb 2019 at Kanjikovil near Kavindapadi in Erode District. It was a long wish to visit the Shiva Vishnu and Sri Sedevi Amman Temples. Visited all the three temples during my recent Visit.
As per the inscriptions this place Kanjikoil was called as “Kanjikooval”. Literatures mentions this place as “Kanji Nagar”, “KanjiNallur”, “Thalainja Nallur” and “Kunguma Nallur”. இலக்கியங்கள் “இல்லறம் வளர்த்துதவு மல்கு காஞ்சிகோயில்” காஞ்சிகோயில் ஊரைப்பற்றியும் “கன்னி பங்காளர் திருநீலகண்டேசுவரர் கவரியுமை கருணையதனால் சிறக்கும் காஞ்சி நகர்” இங்கு இருக்கும் சிவன் கோயிலைக் குறிப்பிட்டும் சிறப்பித்து கூறுகின்றன.
Moolavar : Sri Karivaradharaja Perumal
Thayar : Sridevi and Bhudevi
The salient features of this temple are…
The temple is facing east with a Karudathoon / Deepa Sthamba on the other side of the road. An entrance arch is in front. Palipedam and Garudalwar with Nagar are immediately after the entrance arch.
The sanctum sanctorum is very simple with sanctum and arthamandapa. Moolavar is in standing posture with Sridevi and Bhudevi. The mukamandapa is of metacolour sheet shed. Anjaneyar sannadhi is on the right side or the North east corner of the premises.
There is no inscriptions found. Since this temple is just opposite to the Chera / Kongu Chozha Period Shiva temple, this temple might have been constructed during the same period.
TEMPLE TIMINGS:
The temple will be kept opened between 07.00 hrs to 12.00 hrs and 17.00 hrs to 19.00 hrs. But the opening and closing are un predictable due to lack of devotees.
HOW TO REACH:
About 8 KM from Kavindapadi and 10 KM from Perundurai.
Buses are available from Gobichettipalayam, Kavindapadi, Perundurai and Erode.
