Full Itinerary
Morning
Ekambaranathar Temple, Kanchipuram
- It is one of the five major Shiva temples or Pancha Bootha Sthalams (each representing a natural element) representing the element – Earth.
- Sundarar got back his left side eye sight after visiting this Sthalam.
- There is a Mango tree in the temple dating back to 3,500 years.
- We can find Parvathi Devi hugging the Shiva Lingam in this Sthalam. This is because once the theertham of this Sthalam – Kambha nadhi started to flood; Parvathi Devi thought that the water should not do any harm to the Thirumeni of the Perumaan. So, to protect him, she hugged the Perumaan with her two hands. The impression of the Valais (bangles) of Parvathi Devi is found on the Lingam of this temple.Parvathi Devi using the sand constructed the Lingam, since the lingam is made of sand. So Abhisekam is not done.
