Description

One of the inner shrines of the Ekambareswara temple and a rare one that is open to non-Hindus.

The central figures are a dancing Shiva, his consort Pavarti and in front, elephant-headed Ganesh.

Welcoming all faiths to experience a part of the religion, the sadhu performed a pooja and prayer for us for health and success including annointing the idols with oil, sandalwood and other items, offering flowers (jasmine), wafting incence and marking of our foreheads with sacred ash and red kumkum (vermillion), made from tumeric and slacked lime.
