…. A Continuation post

Our next stop was at Sri Sundareswarar Temple, Kovur. This temple is one of the Navagraha Sthalam around Chennai. The temple has a Pancharatna Keerthana sung by Saint Thyagaraja Swamy. It was a different experience to hear the song of the temple by the singer Dr Padma Sugavanam. This post was updated with History Inscriptions and Architecture etc,.

As per the legend, Thiyagaraja Swamy was attacked by the thieves at Kovur on his way to Thirupathi. When inquired, they denied their act of throwing stones. Thiyagaraja Swamy  realized that the act was by Sri Rama. He stayed for 6 months at this place and worshiped lord Shiva of this temple. The details of my earlier visit to this Kovur Sri Sundareswarar Temple were posted in my blog.
