Tiruvallore - Sri Veeraraghava Perumal Temple


17_big.jpg



This is the most important Divya Desa in the Thondai Mandalam region. The sacred spring in the temple is considered more sacred than holy Ganga and a dip cleanses the devotee of even thinking of a sin. Six pujas, as per rules are performed in the temple at fixed times each day. The temple has a mention in Markandeya Purana. Abishek to Lord is performed only with perfumed oil. Lord is in a reclining form – on a five feet peeta, 15 feet long. There are shrines for Lord Lakshmi Narasimha, Chakkarathazhwar. This is an ancient temple built during the period of Pallavas.

A sage by name Salihotrar performed penance on the banks of this temple tank for a year. He completed his pujas in Thai (January-February) month and offered a flour as Nivedhana and was about to share it with somebody before eating. An old Brahmin asked for it. The sage gave it to him. The guest was not satisfied with it and demanded more and host happily parted with the remaining quantity too. The sage observed fasting and began his penance from the next day for a year. After the penance, the sage was waiting for a guest as before and the same Brahmin came .



The old Brahmin expressed that he was feeling extremely hungry and thirsty and needed a place to rest. After taking prasadam the old Brahmin expressed to Salihotran, 'where is the place for me to lie down?' (Evvul?) 'In this hermitage', (Ivvul), answered Salihotran. The old man was pleased at this offer and stretched his body in the hermitage putting his head towards south. Immediately the old Brahmin transformed himself into the form of Sri Narayana and Adisesha appeared with his thousand hoods to serve as couch and canopy.


On request from Salihotra Maharishi, the Lord promised that he would permanently stay there and that he would bless and relieve everyone who prays to him after taking bath in the tank of his/her diseases and miseries. Hence He is called Sri Vaidhya Veeraraghava Swamy.

Abishek to Lord is performed with perfumed oil only. Hruthapadhani spring is considered more sacred than the holy Ganga and it is believed that it cleanses devotees even from the very thinking of a sin.


Devotees offer Papli Tupatti – an upper cloth to Perumal. This is not available in shops. This is sold in the temple office only priced at Rs. 300. Devotees also offer discs embossed with some figures as eye, full figure, house etc. They offer special archanas and aradhanas and distribute nivedhanas to visitors.

Devotees also offer 9 yard length silk sari to Mother. For removal of pimples in faces, they dissolve milk and jaggery in the temple tank and put salt and pepper in the mandap.

Lord Veera Raghava Perumal is all merciful a physician. Any sick person praying here continuously on three new moon days is cured of diseases as stomach pain, defects in hands and legs and fever. Devotees also pray for child boon and happy wedding and reliefs from any untold hardship and suffering.
