Arulmigu Magudeshwarar And Veeranarayana Temple – Kodumudi

Bhrama ( With the Vanni tree without Flourishing and ripening is the Miraculous event of this temple.) and Vishnu, named as "Veeranarayana perumal" ( As in the Srirangam temple) who are enshrined here, are said to have worshipped Shiva ( Magudeshwarar), hence the name Trimurthy Kovil. Agasthyar is said to have worshipped here. In a test of strength between Adiseshan and Vayu, 5 gems are said to have gotten scattered from the head of Adisesha. A red stone landed at Tiruvannamalai, an emerald at Eengoimalai, a blue diamond at Potikai, a manikkam at Vaatpoki and a diamond here. This temple is regarded as the 6th of the 7 Tevara Stalams in the Kongu Region of Tamilnadu.

The Lord Vishnu here is in the same position as in the Srirangam temple. That is the first time i was looking the Lord Vishnu very closer. That was a pleasant experience. And the day we were there was Thiruveethi ula ( The statue of the lord will be brought to the roads and it will be carried to all the streets in the village). Even though i am from Trichy, i have never seen the Lord Vishnu in this much closer view. It was just 3 to 4 feet distance.

The vinayagar here is named as "Kaviri Kanda Vinayagar". The cauvery river here in this town is meeting two other rivers in few kilometers.We completed our pooja there at about 10.45. The temple was not so big as Srirangam. But still it covers a good area.

When coming back i was having a doubt about the occupation of the people survive there. A localite told me that there are about 500 to 600 families here , in which almost 90% of them are doing the Parikaram(parikarama) works. Kodumudi is very famous for the Dosha parikaramas. Here Sevvai Dosha, Raghu Dosha, Kethu Dosha, Kalathira Dosha and lot more Dosha parikaramas are carried out.

In almost all the places of the temple, the hindu temple architecture attracts the eyes of the viewers. You can take bath in the river itself. Dress changing rooms are available just opposite to the river bank. They collect 2 rupees for a person.

Individualities of this Temple:

1. The 3000 year old Vanni tree (As i have mentioned above).

2.The last week of Aavani Tamil Month and 1st week of Panguni Tamil Month are the days of Special Dharsan During this periods the sunlight enters through the apeture of the Rajagopuram (Entrance Tower) and reaches the Swayambulingam i.e. the Lord Surya who mingles with Lord Magudeshwara. So this event happens two times, and Lord Magudeshwara blesses the Surya.

Another important info about this village is, this is the birth place of Mrs.K.B.Sundarambal ( In almost all the shops you cen see her photgraph)
