Parasuramesvara temple
Gudimallam
Chittoor A world heritage monument-close to Thirupathi-Tirumala The linga is about 14 feet high and is so uniquely carved in order to make it look real!! It has all the three lords carved on it and at what is the fore of the lings is Brahma-with Vishnu in the middle The temple is circular in shape and once a year the rays of the sun fall directly on the lord Parasuramam was supposed to have installed the linga/or worshipped it and prayed to it and in order to bathe the Lord was supposed to have connected it to the Ganges through an underground canal Once a year water rushes in through the opening and the linga gets covered in water and later just drains away Since it is a preserved monument no photos and no poojasPrivate Reply to Shobha(usha) gowri (new win) |
