Nemam - Avundeeswarar temple

On 24th May 2015 along with my wife I decided to visit the Avudeeswarar temple at Nemam which is 3 kms  off the road connecting Bangalore highway and Thiruvallur.

Rajagopuram - Neman temple

This 1500 years old temple was  built by Jeyankonda Chozhan  and was renovated with the blessings of His Holiness of  Sringeri Peedam in 2010.
It has a 5 tier Rajagopuram in the west, the temple faces south, the lord faces east  and is located in the North East part of the village with a huge dry water tank in the east.

The Goddess Amirthambigai has an ear tilted to listen to the grievances of the devotees and has the right foot in front showing readiness to help. Amirtha yogam period is best to worship this amirtha sakthi and get the full blessings.

It is said that all women should visit this temple in their lifetime atleast once to express their gratitude to this Goddess.

All persons whose name starts with "Go" like gopalan, govindan etc should worship in this temple throughout their life. Such is the sanctity of this temple.

Childless couple should do GHO (Cow) Dhanam here and their prayers would be answered.

To overcome obstacles in getting married , Ambigai is garlanded with bangles.

Impact of all Dhoshams except 7.5year saturn period can be cured by Lord Saneeswaran who is in a seperate sannidhi next to Navagraham sannidhi.

There is a dhayana mandapam with pictures of all Siddhargals.

There are seperate sannidhis for Ganapathy, Subramanian with Valli and Deivanai, Dhakshinamurthy, Bhairavar, Kasi viswanathar/ Visalakshi, Saptha kannigaigal under Alamaram/vepam maram.

This is also a Pithru shethram and the pithru tharpanam etc done here is equal to doing it in Kasi and the theertham is called pithru theertham or Agni theertham.

This temple has an office room and a madappalli  for cooking neivedhiyam with all basic infrastructure.

However, the temple  is finding it difficult to meet its day to day expenses and the temple is even let out for shooting of TV serials to supplement their income.

As requested by Mr Kumar who is living close by and taking care of the temple with all sincerity, we have agreed to supply 4 litres of oil per month for lighting of lamps.
