108 Divya Desams
Thiru
Kandiyur
(Trimurti
Kshtram)
The temple is located on the Tanjavur
- Tiruvaiyaru route.
The Moolavar is Harasaabavimosana
Perumal seen in standing posture facing East. This lord is said to
have rid Lord Siva of the sin of plucking one of Brahma's heads (the same
reason is believed in Thiru Karambanur also). There is an idol with
Chakarathalwar sculpted in the front & Narasimhar at the back.
But the idol is placed against a wall & so it is not possible to get
the darshan of Lord Narasimhar. There are separate temples with gopurams
for the trinities Brahma, Vishnu & Siva. The Brahma temple has been
shut down & the idols of Brahma & Saraswati are placed in the Siva
temple. Lord Siva is worshipped as Brahma Sirasa Kandeeswarar.
Thaayaar - Kamalavalli.
Utsavar - Kamalanathan
Theertham - Kabaala Moksha Pushkarini,
Padma Theertham, Kabaala Theertham, Kudamurutti river.
