Tiruchendur Temple Delights


Hi visitor,


Welcome to my blog site : "Vedic Vibes" and to my Tiruchendur blog. I invite you to a delightful journey of the holy temple at Tiruchendur, the second abode of Lord Muruga for a wonderful virtual dharshan of the temple premises and its festival days. I shall share with you many information from the web and from my personal experiences on the shore temple of Lord Muruga.


The journey is going to be a long one as I propose to dwell a little more on the various aspects related to the Deity and His abode.

To make the journey an interesting experience, I shall share a few links from You Tube on music related to Lord Muruga, which I am sure you will enjoy.

Here is the first one. A famous Thirupugazh song by Arunagirinathar, specific to Lord Muruga at Tiruchendur:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGq2V004LNw


Chandana Malai: Out of the six abodes, Tiruchendur is the only abode housed near the sea shore on the plains, and not on a mound. But once there was a hill in this place, called Gandhamadhana Parvatham or Chandana malai. We can see the remnants of this mound in the temple premises, while going to Valli Guhai and also inside the temple near the Perumal Sannidhi.

You can have the first dharshan of the Gopuram from far off, even as you enter the town, just after crossing the Adithanar College.



Here is an aerial view of the majestic temple complex:


Once you enter the Tiruchendur town, you can see the bus terminus named after the freedom fighter Bhagat Singh. 

Tiruchendur is approachable by Train, Road and by Air (via Tuticorin). 

Crossing the bus station, you will reach a beautiful arch entrance to the temple, which leads you to the main temple, about 2 km away, as shown below:



From this arch, the Temple premises is approachable by car. Remember you need to remove your upper garments and be bare bodied while entering the temple (of course ladies are exempt from this dress code). Now we have reached the temple main entrance.




After passing through the entrance shown above, you will first reach the kavadi Mandapam as shown in picture below, which forms the frontage of the Raja Gopuram.


The main Gopuram of this temple stands majestic at 150 feet tall, facing west, (since east is occupied by sea shore). 



There is ample car parking facility in the premises.
As you enter the temple premises, look for peacocks which freely roam around, dancing their way to delight all devotees.

This Gopuram Vasal remains shut throughout the year, except for one night on Sashti festival day. 



This door is called "melavasal" and the steps down this leads to a Vinayagar Sannidhi, about 15 feet below ground level. The temple is thus below sea level but has survived for thousands of years.

You will find the Vasantha Mandapam opposite to this place:


The Temple has an elephant by name "Devayani" and is housed in a shed near the Raja Gopuram. Before we proceed to the temple, have a closer look at  Lord Ganapathy and seek his blessings.

From this place, there is a pathway leading to the main temple. Earlier, this path way was fully covered by concrete roofing, but now the concrete structure has been removed as it weakened over time posing danger to devotees. It was constructed by Late P.U. Chinnappa Thevar about 50 years ago. Now the pathway is open to sky. The shopping area has also been shifted towards the sea area now.

You will then reach the main Temple reception area, called the "Shanmuga Vilaasam" Mandapam, as shown in picture below:


From here you can see the beautiful view of the Bay of Bengal sea shore. You can take a holy dip in the sea if you so wish and then enter the temple.

Nazhik Kinaru is an epic well, which has been in existence from time immemorial. It is said that Lord Muruga created this well using His spear, to get water for performing pooja to Lord Shiva. To this day Lakhs of devotees take bath in this well.

It is just one feet by one feet but it contains sweet water and never gets dry . The level of sweet is always maintained. It is a wonder that the water remains sweet though it is just feels away from the sea shore.

We are now stepping into the temple interiors:






From the Shanmuga Vilas Mandapam, you have to go down about 15 feet to reach the temple level. 



As soon as we enter the temple prakaram, we see the picture of Veera Pandiya Katta Bomman with the Bronze idol of Lord Muruga, which he worshipped in his palace at Panchalangkurichi town. It is said that he will have his food only after morning Pooja is completed at Tiruchendur. For this purpose, he had installed several bells which will start ringing in series along the stretch of Tiruchendur - Panchalangkurichi.

You wil also find pictures of the Temple History adorning the western side of the outer prakaram, depicting the Dutchmen stealing the idol of Arumuga Nainar in the 19th Century and throwing it in sea, as they were afraid of a storm.  Even today we find fish marks on the idol due to prolonged immersion in sea waters for prolonged number of years.

Later Lord appeared in the dream of one devotee, Vadamalaiappa Pillai and told him of the exact location where he can locate the idol in the sea, with a floating lemon and an eagle circling above.


Thiruchendur Murugan Temple Guide

With this, they were able to retrieve the idol as per the directions given by the Lord.



The idol was promptly restored to its original Mandapam inside the temple. Even today, we can find the fish marks on the salt affected face of the Lord due to prolonged immersion in sea water.



The outer prakaram also houses other sannithi's of  Lord Shiva (108 Lingam in single piece), Lord Vinayaka and Lord Vishnu. There is a separate Sannidhi for Lord Muruga as Soora Samhara Moorthy.



Lord Jayanthi Nathar/Kumara Vidanga Perumal can also be seen in the outer prakaram. Jayanthi Nadhar is the idol used during Skanda Sashti uthsavam in October. 


Kodi maram is situated on the eastern side of this prakaram.

As we enter the inner prakaram, we can have Dharshan of Lord Nataraja, Lord Saneeswarar, Lord Bhairavar, Lord Chandikeswarar, on the northern side; Goddesses Deivanai and Valli Sannidhi are in the western side. Goddess Valli alone is provided with a "Palli arai" (bedroom), as She is the Iccha Sakthi. Take time in both Valli and Devayanai sannidhis to get spayed with the Sambirani smokes to ward off the evil eyes.  Saint Arunagiri nadar and Lord Dhakshina Murthi are on the southern side. The Sashti Mandapam and Yagasalai are also house here on the western side. During the six days of Skanda Sashti festival, it is in this place that yaga is conducted. Rakshai Pooja is performed here for six days, for those who desire, after which the Rakshai is kept at home or on your person for lifetime. 



Another Kodi maram is erected on the east side in this prakaram also. Thus, there are two kodi maram in this temple, which is another special feature in this temple.

Then as we enter the innermost place, called Maha Mandapam and Maniyadi, we find Goddess Parvathi Amman, Kariyamanikka Vinayagar and the main deity Lord Bala Subrahmanyar (Moolasthanam) guarded by Veerabahu Devar on the left and Veera Mahendra Devar on the right of the Lord. All poojas to the Lord are performed only after offerings to Veerabahu Devar.

The Moolavar is a monolithic structure, having four arms, holding lotus flower in his front right hand for Pooja to Lord Shiva. There is a Sripali Vigraham made of silver and gold on both sides of the Lord. Lingam is carved on the wall at the back of the Deity. Both Mayil and Nandhi vahanam is placed in front of the Lord.

The main Pooja details of the Moolavar is as follows:
The poojas in this temple are performed as per the Kumara Thandiram Murai. Nine pooja kalams are observed daily. Temple will be opened from 5.00 am till 9.00 pm.

During the Abhishekam, both thirupugazh and veda gosham are recited. Abhishekam to Lord is performed with panner, oil, milk, panchamirtham, Chandanam and viboothi.  Sri Rudram is recited, as the main deity is in the form of performing Pooja to Lord Shiva. Thirupugazh is recital in parallel to veda mantra. After the abishekam and alankaram, it is followed by Archana and Deepa Aradhana. 

The Abishekam viboothi has a special scent, as also the Chandan, since it is mixed with pachai kalpooram. The Pothy comes out of the sanctum sanatorium once in a while to spray holy waters kept in the Holy Conche. Many devotees bring their new born babies to get this water sprayed on the babies.If you are lucky enough, you will receive Viboothi prasadams directly from the Pothy.

Listen to following Thiruchendur Thirupugazh as well. This Thirupugazh by Arunagiri is a powerful one and it is said many have benefited, especially those girls in marriageable age get married soon, by reciting this regularly for 21 days:

Meaning of this song as found in the above Youtube link:

வீரனாம் மன்மதன்
ஐந்து மலர்ப் பாணங்களையும் செலுத்த,
ஆகாயத்தில் நிலவு அதிகமாகவெயில் போலக் காய,

நிதானமான தென்றல் காற்று தீப்போல வீசிப் பொருந்த, வீண்வம்பும்பெண்கள் தத்தம்வசை மொழிகளைக் கூற,
குன்றில் இருக்கும் குறவர்கள் வாழ

(வள்ளி போன்ற) பேதைப்பெண்ணாகிய நான் அடைந்த கொடிய துன்ப விரக மயக்கம் தீர, குளிர்ந்த மாலைப் பொழுதினிலே
நீ அணிந்த கடப்ப மாலையைத் தந்து என் குறையைத் தீர்க்க வந்து அணுகமாட்டாயா?

உன் உபதேசம் பெற்று மகிழ்ந்து
இள மானை உகந்து ஏந்தும்இறைவன் சிவபிரான் மகிழ்ந்து வழிபாடு செய்யப் பெற்ற அறிஞனே, கிரெளஞ்சமலையும், மாமரமும் (சூரனும்)வீழ்ந்து படவும்,
அறிவு கொண்டு உன்னை அறிந்து,
அலைகடல் கொந்தளித்து அஞ்சவும், கூரிய வேலை வீசிய அதி தீரனே, அழகான செம்பொன் மயில்மேலமர்ந்து
உனது இரு தாள்களையும் வணங்கும்அடியார்களின் துயரைகளைபவனே,திருச்செந்தூரில் மகிழ்ந்தமரும்பெருமாளே.

Behind the moolasthanam wall, Pancha Lingam Sannidhi is situated (behind the Main idol). It is said that Lord Muruga offered Pooja to Lord Shiva after defeating Surabadman. It is believed that even today the gods (devarkal) come over to worship Lord Shiva regularly. The five Lingams represent the Pancha bootham, namely, earth, water, fire, air and aakasam. Visitors are allowed to have a close Dharshan of this Panchalingam on normal days and it remains shut on festive days.


Just above the Moolavar, the Golden Gopuram is situated, which can be seen from the outermost prakaram through a window, on the northern side.


Just opposite the Moolavar Vigraham, in the sea, Vadanaramba theertham (holy water) is there, in which Lord Brahma is said to have taken bath. Since this place is now filled with rocks, it is difficult to access. There is a 4" hole in the wall in the outer prakaram opposite to Moolavar, where we can listen to the Pranava sound of the sea.


Lord Shanmugar Dharshan

We now proceed to have a dharshan of Lord Shanmuga, the epic idol facing southwards. Unlike any other temple, Lord Shanmugar is considered as the second Moolasthanam here in Tiruchendur, though He also is the uthsavar as He moves out of the temple twice a year.


Hindu temples , Mahans, Mahaperiyava ,Paramacharya , Ramana : Gods ...

(Apart from this, the Idols of Jayanthi Nathar and Kumaara Vidanga Perumal are also taken out as the Uthsava Moorthi).
There is a Shiva Lingam on the western wall (to the right of Shanmugar). Apart from regular Pooja, special Pooja like Arumuga Archanai is performed here by devotees to weed of their difficulties. It is excellent to watch 6 brahmins recite the veda mantras, perform Archana with a grand finale of six deepaaradhana for the six faces. It is a soul stirring experience.

There is a small prakaram around the Shanmugar and after the pradhakshinam, we come out of the Mani Adi Mandapam.

Don't forget to get few Ilai Viboothi from the temple. There are restrictions in getting this Prasad and if you are lucky you may land up getting one.

நோய் தீர்க்கும் திருச்செந்தூர் இலை விபூதி 

It is said that Aadi Shankara was blessed with Ilai Viboothi by Lord Muruga to save him from severe stomach ailment. He praised the Lord with the famous "Subrahmanya Bujangam". See link below if you want to hear the same:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gPv2rTdefQ

Vibhuthi is given in Panner leaves, which has twelve nerves, denoting the twelve arms of the Lord. Keeping it at home wards off evil diseases and protects you from all troubles. Wear it when you venture out for important assignments to assure success. For this reason, even to this day, Sringeri Sankaracharya, who is the desendant of Adi Sankara, is allowed to perform Pooja inside the sanctum sacrarium of this temple.

We offer prayers to both the kodi maram and then off we come out of the temple. 

Before we get out of the temple, you will find the Kalyana Vinayagar Murthi to pray for removing obstacles in performing marriage of your children.

All this will take just about a clear two hours. If you choose to witness the abhishekam followed by Archana to Moolavar, it will be extended by another hour.

Let us now have a look at the main four festivals of this temple:
  • Masi mahotsavam (For Devayanai)
  • Vaikasi Visakam
  • Aavani thiruvizha (for Valli)
  • Skanda Sashti
Each of the above four festivals assume seasonal significance.

Listen to the following song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REO6j558K2U

Masi Mahotsavam:

The whole town assumes festive flavours when the temple flag is hoisted atop the "Kodi Maram" during the twelve days beginning with the star Revathi nakshathram.

In the evening Sri Appar Swami and Sri Beli Nayanar thiruveethi ula in pallakku is arranged. See Link below:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FM8DGkAVt6I

Devotees from far and near throng the town in large numbers. The Masi festival follows closely the Tamil month of Thai, the harvest season. The worship is to thank the Lord for the good harvest season.

In fact, there are two such annual events in Tiruchendur, one during Aavani and the other during  Masi month, one for Devayanai and the other for Valli Ammai, the two consorts of Lord Muruga.

During the second day of the festival Kumara Vidanga Perumal and Deivanai Amman are taken in Chapparam and special abishekam and Archanai are performed.

திருச்செந்தூர் கோவில் சுவாமி ...

On the seventh day morning, by 2 am the Shanmugar Deity is brought out through a ritual, taking "power" from the Moolavar Deity. This is known as "Urugu Chatta Sevai". Keralite Namboothiri pandits perform this ritual in strict perfection. The Shanmugar then assumes all the powers of the Moolavar and comes out of the temple for a 3 day soujourn to the downside. The deity is kept in the Shanmuga Vilas Mandapam inside the temple for sometime, when Archana and Deepa aaradhanai are performed.

By 9 am the deity is ready to depart from the temple in a Chapparam, made of roots called Vetriver.The Chapparam is hand carried by able bodies devotees and reaches the mandapamnear Kavadi Pillayar Temple by 10 30 or so. This Chapparam is followed fervently by archakas, reciting Rig vedam, Kumara Suktham, Thiruppugal and Thevaram. See the following video and enjoy this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rqpj5c_8dvI

This chaparral is taken straight to Thoondigai Vinayagar temple and after getting permission from Lord Ganapathi, Lord Muruga starts His visits to the town-side.


In the evening of 7th daythe Deity is clothed in red, (Sivappu Sathi- see picture) decorated with red flowers and is taken out in procession in the golden Chapparam. The Deity is decoration like Lord Shiva, with the back of the Chaparam looking like Lord Nataraja. The Deity goes around through various streets and reaches Shiva Temple in the night. The Veda parayanam recital is continued. Some of the Vedic pandits come from nearby villages and take part happily in the Vedic delivery.

If you wish to witness the Sivappu sati Abhishekam, see the following link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tisHq3OHWNw

Eighth day of the festival starts early in the morning at about 4 am with the Deity decorated in white clothings (Vellai Sathi - see picture), white flowers and Silver Chapparam, denoting Lord Brahma this time. Hence the rituals are conducted in Brahma Muhurtham, early morning. 


திருச்செந்தூர் ஸ்ரீ சண்முகர் ...

Special Abhishekam is performed early in the morning. See video link below:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGYLuGbW2nk&list=WL&index=43&t=0s

On the 8th day afternoon, the Deity is then decorated in the afternoon in green clothings (Pachai Sathi- see picture), with green leaves like Marikozhundu & Bilva leaves and taken out in Green painted Chapparam. This time it represents Lord Vishnu. Vedic chants continues here again. See the following link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9INw-utFT4&list=WL&index=50

Also see the following link:

Thus we see that Lord Muruga appears as Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, all in one. Listen to the following song in this respect:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jl1d4W7UAqk

After completing this rounds, the Deity is taken back to the main temple premises the same night and gives back the "Power" to Moolavar deity.

Ninth day of the festival continues with Kumara Vidanga Perumal going around the town in golden kailaya mountain vahanam.

Tenth day the Temple Car is pulled through the four Ratha Veethi in a 60 feet tall chariot, housing Kumara Vidanga Perumal and Valli/Devayani Amman. 

See video link below:

The eleventh day of the festival consists of theppam followed by Thirumanjana sevai on the twelfth day.
There ends the description on the Masi Festival. The Aavani festival also follows the same 12 day festival.

Visit the Thoondugai Vinayagar temple in the  premises:

Apart from the above, people perform special poojas like Silver and Golden Chapparam as per the request of the devotees on their choice of dates.
You can also visit the Valli cave near the sea Shore.

Enjoy the shopping for gifts to your near and dear ones:

Skanda Sashti
Skanda Sashti is yet another major festival in Tiruchendur, linked closely with its Puranam. The six day festival starts in Tamil month of Ayppasi beginning with the Deepavali Amavasya. The sixth day culminates with the Soora Samharam on the beaches of Tiruchendur. Lakhs of devotees throng the temple, stay there for 6 days, fast all the six days and offer their prayers. For those who do not have children, this is considered to be one of the many ways of begetting children. Sashti actually is a feminine name, that of Goddess Devayanai, who is supposed to guard our children. Hence fasting on this occasion actually helps our children get over their difficulties, apart from helping ourselves. On the fifth day, Lord Muruga gets the Sakthi Vel from Mother Parvathi at Sikkal.

Before you leave, ensure to buy some gifts for your dear and near ones in the shopping arcade adding the temple premises.

On the sixth day, Lord Jeyanthinathar is taken out from the Sashti Mandapam, after six days of performing yagnam and the Soora Samharam takes place by around 5 pm. After killing Gajamuhasuran and Singamuhasuran, Soora Padman is turned into Peacock and Seval Kodi. See link and pictures below:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93Wu2Cg5FWc

Kavadi attam is a very ancient art of dedication to Lord Murugan. Tiruchendur is no exception to this. During Masi festival days, many devotees from nearby villages throng to this town, walking all the way down in groups and holding various kavadi like Sarpa kavadi, Paul Kavadi, Paravai Kavadi, vel kavadi etc..
