SREE YOGA RAMAR, NEDUNGUNAM NEAR TIRUVANNAMALAI

SREE YOGA RAMAR, NEDUNGUNAM NEAR TIRUVANNAMALAI

On 06 10 2018 evening, I went to Nedungunam, 47 kms from Tiruvannamalai on the Tiruvannamalai - Kanchipuram route.   It can be reached from Polur and Arani too.   That day was third puratasi saturday, even at 7.30 PM too, there was overwhelming strength of the devotees and especially, there was an Annadhanam arranged on that day in the temple premises and thus people from nearby areas were present.  The temple entry Gopuram is majestic with  5 tiers.   There is lot of open space in front of the entrance gopuram, where vehicles can be parked.    It takes around 1 hr and 10 min by Bus and route upto Allluvarpettai is good and further the road is narrower compared to earlier road.    There is another gopuram as Kili Gopuram with Dwasthamba before that.   Sree Rama Thiruppadigam has been inscribed on the walls of the temple.  I had very nice darshan on that day.   Thulasi and other flowers are available in front of the temple. 





The story of the temple is connected with Sugabrahma rishi and Lord Rama.   Sugabrahma Rishi was in penance on the lord rama at this place which was noticed by sree Rama who was  returning from Lanka after the vicotry over Ravana and he alighted here and gave darshan to the rishi and was with him before going to Ayodhya.

The story of Sree Rama and Sree Anjaneya dined in the same banana leaf and hence rama made a line at the centre also is from Nedungunam.

Sree Rama in this temple is in the yoga posture and hence sitting and his right hand is in the chest while Maa Sita Devi is holding a lotus in her right hand and Sree Lakshmana is to the right of Rama holding the bow and arrow.   Sree Anjaneya is in front of Sri Rama chanting vedas, in sitting posture.  Urchavar is Kothandaramar and Senbhagavalli Thayar has separate sannidhi.   Also separate sannidhis in the temple for Kalyana venkatesa perumal, Hanuman, Vaikanasachaariar with his dsiciples and Venugopalan. Vishnu Durgai here faces east.
