Tiruchanur siva temple - mail 3
  • Friends
     
     There is a kalayana venkateswara temple in tiruchanur, next to Padmavati temple, which my family is visiting for a long time. This temple was built around 50/60 years back. While constructing this temple a big standing Vinayaka idol was unearthed and the vinayaka was also installed in the garbagraha.
     
     It struck to me recently that this particular 2 1/2 feet standing Ganesh must be a Ganesh in the Goshtam of a siva temple. Since i have read that the tiruchanur suffered major damages - i started searching for a siva temple in that area and learnt about the Parasareswara temple. ( The Kalyanavenkatesa temple entrance and a long shot of the sanctum are attached.  venkateswara is seated with a tiruvasi. Vinayagar is standing in the ground. The temple entrance has the Vinayaka image)
     
    There are also some idols - One Big Ranganatha, Gardudalwar and two dwarapalakas housed in a small room near tank. One Vishnu in seating portion and a Sridevi are kept outside that room. Boo devi statue is missing.
     
    We need to find out from which temple they were taken out.
