When I told my friend Mr. Venkatesh about the missed opportunity to attend his son’s wedding at Devakottai, one of my friends, Mr. Nachiappan, invited me to Devakottai to attend the Kottai Amman’s annual 15-day festival. This festival is unique in nature, and lakhs of people attend from various parts of India. So, I decided to attend the festival to get the blessings of Sri Kottai Amman. I stayed with his family and visited Two Shiva temples and a Saibaba temple.
SRI
SAIBABA TEMPLE, DEVAKOTTAI.
This
temple was built by former Chief Justice AR Lakshmanan through his own fund
and managed by his brothers. The temple faces east with an entrance arch on the south side. The Saibaba idol was sculptured from white marble and brought
from north India. A Vinayagar temple is by the side of Saibaba temple.
The architecture is of North Indian style. It was told that Sri Sai Baba’s
miracle Vibhuti appeared on the plate.
HOW
TO REACH :
Devakottai
is about 20 km from Karaikudi and frequent buses are available from Karaikudi
The
temple is on Gandhi Road near Lions Club Hall.
Autos
are available from the Bus stand.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteYesterday at a book release function ,Shri lakshmaman mentioned this temple. May I ask on which plate does the vibhuti appears,
Thank you.
That Vibhuti appears from a small Saibaba statue available at Former Chief justice Mr Laksmanans' residence Pooja room and not at the temple
