Tag: Embryo temple

Temples in India have history dating back to thousands of years.

Ancient history is called Purana in Sanskrit.

Puranas are of two kinds.

One is Main Puranas and another is

Minor,called Upa Puranas.Thete are eighteen Puranas.

Apart from this each temple had its history,called sthala Purana, history of the place.

There are over 33000 temples in Tamil Nadu under the HR & CE department of the Government.

These are mainly old temples.

During the course of my writing this blog, researching Indian History, I have,to my surprise,found that the information,events provided in the Puranas and the two Ithihasas, Ramayana and Mahabharata tally and there is no contradiction!

Unfortunately,most of the temples built by our ancestors have been demolished by Islam and British invaders, rulers.

Those that survived were neglected by the Secular Government,which ,in essence means destroying Hinduism.

Many grand ancient temples are facing ruin.

I propose writing on these so that we can restore them.

I am of the view that we need not build new temples and can concentrate on restoration of these grand temples,we will be restoring History.

Those who have information on such temples may forward me details with photos and contact number of the Temple Gurukkal or the administrator.

The information will be gratefully acknowledged in the article.

I have written on colour changing Siva in Virupaksha temple, Karnataka and another one in Tamil Nadu.

I will be writing on one such temple near Chennai.

Now there is a Shiva Temple near Myladuthurai,Tamil Nadu.

This temple is reported to be the place,where the First Embryo fell on the earth.

The original name in Tamil is Karuvizhundhanadhapuram.

கருவிழுந்தநாதபுரம்.

Means place where the Embryo Fell.

The temple is in a dilapidated condition.

A Gurukkal comes from a nearby and performs Pooja.
