Very big but lesser crowded Siva temple situated a few Kms from Kumbakonam . The Nandi is huge around 15 ft and the lingam is very powerful . The Ambal shrine too is great . One portion of the big temple is locked but you can see brilliant Dravidian style architecture at play there .

Ideal temple for those who want to feel holiness by wroshiping Amman known Punnainallu Mari Amman. It is around 7 Km from Thanjavur Railway Station. Amman is the mail god and Vishnu Durgai sannadhi is on the left hand side of Amman. The aram spacious pragaram around Sannathi give you space to relax and enjoy the vibration of holiness.

I visited this temple together with my family in August 2018. I am surprised that not much has been written or shared about this temple on TripAdvisor. I feel blessed to have visited this temple and would like to share my experience. The main presiding deity in this temple is Lord Shiva. This temple is revered to be one of the 9 important navagraha (planets) temples in India, dedicated to Lord Rahu (North Lunar Node). Lord Rahu is believed to be relieved from his curse at this temple where he prayed to Lord Shiva. Therefore, Lord Rahu relieves his devotees from Rahu Dosha and shower them with his blessings at this place. Highlights of the temple as mentioned by the priest are stated below. 1) Milk poured on Lord Rahu's idol as abhishekham, turns blue in colour. The priest explained that since Lord Rahu is a snake, the milk turns blue upon contact with the idol indicating the presence of poison. This affirms that the deity is very much alive. However, abishekham is only done on special occasions. 2) Goddess Girigujambal, a swayambu lingam that radiates heat waves. Goddess Girigujambal performed a penance at this temple to relieve herself from a curse and reunite with Lord Shiva. The temple priest also shared that Goddesses Lakshmi and Saraswathi (seen at the sides of goddess Girigujambal) are believed to be still pacifying her. If not for the two other goddesses, the heat experienced at the shrine would be more intense. My family and I experienced the heat waves personally and no words can describe this divine experience. This temple is a must visit for all Hindu devotees. Do not miss it!
