Om sri Anjaneyaya Nama: |ॐ जय श्री राम , जय हनुमान| "Manojavam Maarutatulyavegam Jitendriyam buddhimataamVaristham, Vaataatmajam Vaanarayoothmukhyam Sriramdootam saranam Prapadhye". There is a story behind the name of the temple `Suchindram`. It is said according to `sthalapuram` that it was the place which purified Indra and hence the name `Suchindram` because the term purification in Sanskrit means `Suchi`. There is a belief that Indra is yet performing Ardhajama Puja. Inside the temple precincts, one could see a gigantic idol of Hanuman, almost 20 ft high and is said to be in the stature as he had shown to Sita[Viswaroopa], when she was in Lanka. The enormous size of the idol itself is just startling and ladders are used to adorn as well as to remove the large garlands embellishing the lord. According to some, the idol is having a certain amount of growth each year. another aspect is abhishekam milk when Directly opposite to the idol of Hanuman, at the other end of the corridor, the beautiful icons of Sri Rama and Sita can be seen in a small shrine. * * <http://sig.graphicsfactory.com/>* நல்லதுசெய் நல்லதே நடக்கும் *जन सेवा ईश्वर सेवा * *cnu.pne* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
