| Thiruvenkadu is the location of a famous Navagraha temple in Tamil Nadu. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and the planet Mercury (one of the nine Navagrahas) is also worshipped there. The temple is located close to the Vaitheeswaran Temple (about 14 kilometers/9 miles)on the road from Sirkali to Poompuhar. This temple has three theerthams - Agni, Chandran and Suryan. The main deity is Shiva - Swetharanyeswarar ("lord of white forest") and the goddess is Brahma Vidya ambal. There is a separate Sannidhi for Bhudhan (mercury). The temple is quite large and all four important Saivite saints have sung in praise of this lord. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/ | ||||||||||||||||||||
