Kalyanasundareswarar Temple( Panchavarneswarar Temple)
(The colour changing Lingam)
Thirunallur is also known as Dakshina Kailasam. Once there was a contest between Adisesha the serpent God and Vayu the wind God, to decide who was more powerful. Vayu tried to blow out the thousand peaks of Meru Mountain and Adisesha protected them with his thousand hoods. During a moment of lapse of concentration on the part of Adisesha, Vayu blew the peaks away one of which is supposed to have fallen here at Thirunallur. The Shiva Linga here is said to have been manifested from this peak. There is a belief that the mane of Lord Shiva is at the back of the temple.
The Shiva Lingam at Kalyanasundareswarar Temple in Thirunallur is a sayambhu lingam. This is one of the Mada Koil or temples built at an elevation by Kochengat Cholan. This is one of the 275 Padal petra sthalams of Lord Shiva. The main deity here is Panchavarneswarar and His consort is Parvathasundari. He is also known as Kalyanasundareswarar. The sthala(place) vruksham(tree) is Vilvam. The holy water here is the Saptha sagara theertham. A dip in this water is supposed to absolve one of all sins.
A very interesting feature of this temple is that the Shiva Lingam here changes colour every 2 hours and 24 minutes. From 6am to 8.24am the Lingam is Copper coloured, between 8.25am to 10.48am the Lingam is red in colour, changes to golden colour between 10.49am and 1.12pm, between 1.13pm and 3.36pm the colour changes to emerald green. Awe struck!!! Wait till you read this, the Lingam will appear in a colour that the devotee wishes to see, between 3.37pm and 6pm. The devotee can observe the change of colours in the Linga during each puja.
Panchavarneswarar Temple (Pancha + five; varna= colour;
Eeshwar = God)Shivalinga in the temple showed Brahmma five
colours – golden yellow, red, black, white and smoke ash here.
For Sage Udangar, Shivalinga appeared as a Gem, Spatika, Gold
and Diamond and as a portrait.
May Lord Shiva Bless us all with Happiness,
Prosperity, and Health
& Wisdom!!
