Especialidad del Templo:



Este antiguo templo está conectado con el período Ramayana. Según la historia, Sri Rama en Su camino a Sri Lanka descansó aquí en este lugar que entonces era un bosque. Mientras descansaba bajo un árbol Amla, se dio cuenta de que había un Shiva Lingam bajo tierra y sus pies habían tocado la cabeza del Lingam sin saberlo. Es famoso por Guru (uno de los templos navagraha). El templo Ramanadheswara está ubicado muy cerca del cruce porur Kunrathur.

Temple History:

The temple is constructed by II Kulathunga Cholan around 700 AD. History says that Lord Rama searched Seetha in this place. By mistake Lord Rama kicked Sivalingam and he realized the one he kicked was lingam, then Shiva appeared and gave directions to Lord Rama to reach Srilanka.Lord Shiva is considered as Guru. There is no seperate Guru sannaidhi.Sri Rama acquired a Dhosham as He had touched the Lingam with His feet. So he undertook a penance towards Lord Shiva for 48 days with just one Amla fruit as his food, to recover from the Dhosham and to bring out the Shiva Lingam.

Lord Shiva pleased with Sri Rama's penance came out from the earth and gave Viswaroopa Dharshan to Sri Rama. Sri Rama with sincere prayers worshipped Lord Shiva as His Guru and got to know the directions to reach the place where Sri Sita was kept under custody of Raavana and headed towards Sri Lanka. As Sri Rama worshipped Lord Shiva as His Guru, this place became a Guru Sthalam among 9 Navagraha Temples of Chennai. Here Lord Shiva Himself is worshipped as Sri Guru Bhagavan.Also this place is called Uthara Raameswaram, as Sri Rama worshipped Lord Shiva here, similar to Raameswaram.

Greatness Of Temple:
