| KALLAZHAGAR |
KALLAZHAGAR-2
Sri S.V.Varadarajan
It is believed that the town and temple were constructed by Dharma Deva and Viswa karma.Later,the Pandyan king Malaydhvaja removed these structures.Malayadhwaja was the son of the Pandya king who first established the pandya rule and dynasty.He married the daughter of the great Surasena named Kanchanamala.This couple had a daughter named 'Angayarkanni' who came to be worshipped later as 'Meenakshi'. She is the empress who ruled the Pandya kingdom after her father.
The prime deity in the sanctorum in Azhagan koil bears the name Sri Paramaswami 'bearing five weapons in his hands,sitting flanked by his consorts Sri Devi and BhooDevi and blessing the devotees with his with his magnificent graceand charm.The novel feature about this deity is that the 'chakra' in His hand is shown as ready for being aimed at the target. The urchavamoorthy of this deity is known as Azhagar and Sundara Rajan. Abishekam for this idol is done only with the water brought from Noopura ganga.If some other water is used, the idolbecomes dark in colour surprisingly. In Divya Prabandam, this Vigraha is praised as Solaimalalaikkarasan. Another special feature about this idol is it is made up of a particular type of high quality gold called 'Apranchi'. It is said that apart from this idol,the only other such idol is that in the Thiruvanandhapuram temple as Urchava Murthi.
In the Prahara Adjacent to the Garbagraha, we find Valampuri Vinayakar Sannadhi. In the northern Prahara, we find Sri Visvaksena seated with Srijaya Devi. Next to him is the Bhairavar Sannathi named as Hemaatha Balakar.
