Guest guest Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 The Uppliappan Temple [also known as Oppiliappan Temple] dedicated to Lord Narayana is situated 7 kms south of Kumbhakonan. It is a very ancient temple, thousands of years old and the beauty of the idol is indescribable. All food offerings made to the Lord are saltless and it is considered a sin to even carry salt inside this temple. However, the offerings are tasty, inspite of being saltless, as a result of the boon conferred by the Lord. Please go to the following link for full details of the history of the temple : http://oppiliappantemple.org/history.html Thirunageswaram Temple located a few kms away from Oppiliappan Temple is an ancient and famous Rahu Stalam [where Rahu Bhagwan is seated with his two consorts]. Persons having Rahu Dosham in their horoscopes can do milk abhisekham here as a remedial measure. Here the main temple is of Naganathar {Lord of the Nagas} i.e. Lord Shiva in the form of a Lingam. In and around Kumbhakonam, Tanjavur, Dindigul and Madurai ancient temples dedicated to all the nine planets are situated. The Tamil Nadu Govt. Tourism Department operates Luxury Air Condition Coaches from Chennai to cover all these temples in a period of 2/3 days. This saves one the trouble of trying to locate these temples and is particularly helpful for those who do not know Tamil. 'Regards Ramesh Bollywood, fun, friendship, sports and more.
