29th July
2015.
This temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva near the Thirukadaiyur bus
stop on the Mayiladuthurai to Karaikal main road. The temple is under the
control of the HRCE Department, under the Kala Pooja scheme. On Monday, 27th July
2015, I had the chance of peeping inside the temple. It was a scary experience
to enter the sanctum. A lot of bats flew inside the temple, and banyan and
Peepal trees grew on the temple. The roots came through the ceiling and
walls. The temple is in a dilapidated condition and may crumble down at any
time.
One kala Pooja is conducted regularly and kept open in the
evening. Oil lamps are burnt inside the sanctum. The temple is facing west, and
Ambal is facing south. The mandapam is of the Vavval Nethi type of
architecture. We couldn't circumambulate the temple due to the growth of thick vegetation.
Why and what for Lord Shiva is waiting? Can anyone hear the cry of
this temple? Who was chosen to carry out the thirupani to this temple ?. HRCE
is wasting money in many ways. Why can't they spend some money to
rebuild this temple? Let us pray to Lord Shiva to answer.
