Swayamvyaktha kshetram
Adivaraha avatar. The idol is a very small one. Known to be very powerful.
This village is approximately 20 kms from Vriddhachalam. The temple town can be found on a detour route between Vriddhachalam to Kumbakonam. One must take a detour after travelling 10-12 kms on Vriddhachalam-Kumbakonam road and travel 8 kms , road signs are clear.
This temple is so special to my family. We have a bond with the name of the bond in such a way that we had named kids in our family as Rajagopal.
The temple is MASSIVE ! Structure. This is almpst as huge as Srirangam temple (probably next biggest to Sriranga, temple in terms of Vishnu temples are concerned)
The temple tank is a sight to cherish. I havent seen as big as this one.
This town is good 35-40kms from Kumbakonam. The drive along the cauvery canals especially in rainy season will be a memorable one.
This drive is as good as the Konaseema, AP drive.
The temple is piously maintained. The temple elephant is a cute and welcoming one.
