08th March, 2016.
This year’s Mahashivratri went very well with
the darshan of Sri Dhandeeswarar and Sri Sarveswara aka Panchamuga Lingeswarar. Both temples are at Velachery, also both are within walking distance from my residence. Sri Dhandeeswarar temple is 1000 years old
and was built during Chozha's reign. My son dropped me near the temple and
found an unusual crowd with a lot of Police to regulate the crowd.
4 kaala poojas ( 21.00 Hrs, 23.00 Hrs, 02.00 Hrs and 04.00 Hrs ) are
performed in both the temples.
SRI DHANDEESWARAR TEMPLE
Since Sri Dhandeeswarar temple mandapam is very
small and cannot accommodate more than 10 persons mostly the donors and
local political persons used to occupy it. Skipped 1st kaala
pooja, since the crowd was too large and had the darshan of Lord Shiva
during other poojas. Even for other poojas, it took about an hour to
reach the sanctum. The crowd slowly decreased for the 3rd and 4th kaala
poojas. (

This Shiva
Temple a new one and the moolavar has 4 faces on all four
directions and one face is on the top. Most of the time spend in this temple
since the crowd was less and seen the abhishekam also. Sri-la-Sri Chidambaram
Periya Swamigal, was a siddhar and he was responsible for the
reconstruction of Sri Dhandeeswarar Temple after damaged due to age. This
temple is unique in construction. The Jeeva Samadhis of Sri-la-Sri
Chidambaram Periya Swamigal and his disciple Sri Ambalavanan are
surrounded by the sannadhis of Vinayagar, Subramaniyar, Sarabeswarar,
Ambal, Panchamuga Anjaneyar, Kubera Vishnu, Shiva, Navagrahas and
