Thingalur - Apputhi adigal - Chandran GOD
Temple visits - Thingalur Temple
Temple visits - Thingalur Temple
This is one of the 9 Navagraha parihara sthalam in Tamilnadu. This is located very close to Tanjavur, around 20 mins drive from Tanjavur or 45 mins drive from Kumbakonam. This is very small temple but powerful temple.
Main God is Siva as in anyother Navagraha temple and he is named as Kailasanathar and Thayar Parvathi as Periya Nayaki amman is residing very next to Lord Siva. Chandran has the temple just outside the main deity and has a separate shrine. Chandran in tamil is called as Thingal and hence the name Thingalur retained for the village.
It it still a village with rice as the main agricultural activity. Usually born babies will be fed with rice after 6 months and usually first rice or annaprasanam would be given in the temple and it is very famous in Guruvayurappan temple, the same ritual is also famous in this temple.
The babies are shown moon first and then cow before feeding their first rice. We usually see kids are shown moon while they are taking their dinner and it is not just for diversion but it has a spritual reason, Moon is shown as water god and cow shown as medicinal god so that even if kids get cold or fever it is been taken care.
This temple is believed to be constructed by Cholas sometime around 10-11th century and one of the 276 padal petra sthalam.
There was a famous merchan who lived in this city called Apputhi / Appoodi Adigal who had great respect on the name of Appar ( one the top 63 nayanmars). While he has not met Appar once, he became his devottee by mind, he did not even workship lord siva to the extend that he workshipped appar. The devotion was such that he named in sons as Elder(periya) Thirunavuakarasar and youger (chinna) Thirunavukarasar. He started to build water service, annadanam all other social activities in the name of Appar. When Appar came to this village he wondered on the services which were on his name and wanted to see Apputhi adigal, hearing this Apputhi adigal was very happy and requested his son to get banana leaves for Appar to provide food, unfortunately in the field, a snake bit the son and he was dead, while Apputhi adigal was heard about this, he did not worry but he was very much keen to take care of Appar who is visiting his house. When Appar visited and heard the incident, he did a padigam as below
and rightaway the son came back to life. Hence in this place till date even there is a bite from snake, the poison never gets into the entire body is a miracle. Anyone suffering from Chandran dosham should visit here and do the pariharam, peferably during chandra horai time.
currently the temple is being rennovated.
Temple timings are from 6 am to 12 pm and 4 pm to 8 pm
