Dear All,
As we all known that south is inauspicious face to keep the deity for Pooja rituals. But I am concerned in this concept. Because, in all Shiva Temples, Devi i.e Ambal is faced towards South. Can any one explain why Devi has been placed to face south and this is considering as auspicious?
Example:
1. Mylapore Kapalishwar - main deity facing west and Karpagambal facing south
2. Thiruvanmiyur Maruntheeswarar - main deity facing west and Thiripurasundarai facing south
3. Thanjavor Brahadeeswarar - main deity facing east and Periyanayagi facing south
etc.
Thanks!
Shivams!
