108 Divya Desam
15th Thiru Kandiyur

The Moolavar here is haran or Aran Saapa  Vimochana Perumal.The Moolavar Thaayar here is Kamalavalli Nachiyar.Shiva and Brahma both had 5 heads. Once after meditation, Parvathi offered Padya to Brahma by mistake. Shiva was envious of Brahma and plucked his head. This head stuck
to Shiva's hand. He then worshipped Perumal at Anbil on his way
to Thiru Kandiyur via Uthamar Koil. Shiva waited for the Perumal
at Kamala Pushkarani and surrendered to Him. Perumal then hit
the earth with His mace. A Pushkarani was created. When Shiva
bathed in this tank the scull fell away. Since the scull flew away
this is called Kapala Pushkarani. (A different version is that the
Perumal pinched Himself and removed a small portion of His own
flesh and gave that as alms to Shiva. Once this piece of flesh fell
into the scull, the scull broke into pieces and Shiva was cured of
His curse. (Refer Periyazhwar Thirumozhi 1-9-9).Sudarshana is
seen in a walking pose. Perumal  is seen here with Sridevi and Bhoodevi.

To Triplicane with Love

I had to move to triplicane post marriage I was sceptical at first.It was crowded , dam c crowded.So many faces ....later on I loved seeing faces...wherever you go from the flower lady to the idiyapam selling anna...they greet you with a warm smile and you smile back...be it any festival...everyone makes sure they visit the periya theru pillayar first...from Krishna jayanti to ramzan ,moharam people celebrate all the festivals with utmost joy and happiness...we exchange sweets and savories....For foodies like me you have a hotel in every corner ...not to mention the famous Basha halwa ....most of the shops here are very small due to the lack of space but they have everything inside it and that's the beauty of it...from mosque's to  temples... everything carries its own beauty...the moment I saw my Lord parthasarathy I fell in love that very moment....be it any time night 12 or morning 4 you can see people on the road.....one can only experience the joy of  triplicane if you live here.... My morning walks are so special that I find happiness in little things...from ladies putting kolam in street,that wet sand smell, news papers, early morning tea kadai anna's with pattai in their forehand,mami's with manjal in their feet,seeking the blessings from thiruvestiswaran .. you know your day is going to be good...every aadi masam I make sure I go visit an ambal temple every Friday...this time I visited one such temple called the ellai Amman kovil in triplicane...I have never seen an beautiful goddess like her in my life...that day I made her a promise...no matter where I go when I am back I will def come visit her...for temple loving people like me....triplicane is a Bliss....all the areas in Chennai has its own benefits...but this one is coming out of my own experience...it's one such area in chennai where religion is just a word in dictionary...people love you for what you are....and those are the kind of people I easily get along with ...it's just been a year since I moved here...but I feel I belong here already...💕💕 #lovefortriplicane....
