A WARM WELCOME TO VIEWERS OF THIS ARTICLE
In Tamil Nadu , Sirkazhi is a small town in the Nagai District, at a distance of 20 kms from Mayiladuturai as well as Chidambaram. This is the birth place of the great Gnanasambandhar, one of the four great Nayanmars of south India.
Near Sirkali, there is a hamlet by name Pulichakadu. In scriptures, it is known as Nithyavanam. This village is 2 k.m. away from Sirkali enroute Arpakkam and Madhanam.
In this village, there is one Ayyanar temple near a pond. This Ayyanar , with Poorna and Pushkalamba and with one soolayudham all engraved in a single stone piece is installed. There is another stone piece , where two rishi ( or siddhar ) like idol is engraved. There was an idol of Lord Ganesa in the premises and this idol is missing since 6 months. This we came to know only two days back, when we visited the place to do Abhishekam and Pooja. We were very much upset and shocked over this. This Ayyanar is our Kula Deivam for the past many generations. This temple is without any proper roof and is not having any temple-like structure and is exposed to the open sky. Normally, we used to visit this temple once in a year or so and do Abhishekam and Pooja. I understand that there are a few families , who are interested in this deity as kuladeivam or otherwise and they visit here once in a bluemoon to do poojas , like us.. Please have a look at the temple photo album by clicking this link.
We presume and feel that this Ayyanar deity ( with all its divine lakshana and thejas ) is highly potential and spiritually powerful. We also believe that this Ayyanar is likely to have a rich and traditional background and sthala puranam.As we are very curious and keen to know more about this Ayyanar, I request you, readers, to kindly enlighten us/ share with us any information or details about this temple/deity, if any available with you. Now that a few people interested in this deity/temple , have started feeling the necessity and the urgent need for a temple structure for our beloved kuladeivam Now, pompted by the inherent urge ,we have initiated a move to go ahead with a proposal for construction of a temple structure for the deity, with our personal and initial contributions and we anticipate liberal donations from Bhakthas also, to complete the project.
In the meantime, we are keen to develop a detailed network of families/people interested in this Ayyanar deity/temple and we hope that would help us in the process of creating a larger coverage of families/members and render us with more manpower and resources for funds for the coming up of the temple as well as Kumbabhishekam and future maintenance of the temple also. We sincerely hope that in course of time, with the support of many a devotees, our dream will come true in the form of a solid temple structure.
Therefore it is hereby requested that those interested and want to involve and participate in the development activities of this temple, may furnish their contact details such as Names, address, telephone number and email ids etc to the undersigned. You may please furnish any facts/information/details about this deity/temple, if any, known to you.
Yours
In the noble and spiritual cause
