Maha Shivaratri at Dandeeswarar Temple and Sri- La - sri Chidambaram Periya Swamigal Jeeva Samadhi ( Mandir ), Sri Sarveswarar, Panchamuga Lingam, Velachery, Chennai, Tamil Nadu.

 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. ( For further Details )

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.
