Tamil Podcast - Vaaram Oru Alayam.
This tamil podcast will have a comprehensive brief about a temple, it's architecture, festivities, etc. Ancient scholars have made outstanding contributions to the growth of these monuments of great artistic value. To make the podcast a little bit more interesting I'll try to narrate the stories related to the place, the temple itself, the beliefs and rituals being practised there. This will be narrated in easy tamil.
The Lord has his consort, Lakshmi on his left, the place came to be known as Tiruvidandhai. (Thiru - Lakshmi, Ida - Left). The place was also known as Sreepuri, Varagapuri, Asurakula Kala Nalloor, Vaamagaveepuri. The Lord here is considered very powerful. Being the "nithya kalyana perumal", He is believed to bless his devotees with the holy state of matrimony. The temple is on the East Coast Road, about 42 km from Chennai, about 16 km before Mamallapuram. Click to Listen
