Thingaloor Temple Tour from Trichy,Chennai,kumbakonam
Chandra, the moon is our closest neighbour in the Universe and has pride of place in Shiva’s matted hair. This powerful graham is next only to Surya in his strength and power to bestow favours on his worshippers. He grants a comfortable, long life and fame. He cures eye ailments (especially those of the left eye) and skin diseases. Chandra is the graha who helps to remove stress and sorrows. People suffering from mental ailments seek a cure from him. Chandra is believed to control the well being of one’s mother and is the one to pray to for her health.
Thingaloor is 22 kms from Kumbakonam. The principle deity in the sanctum sanctorum is Kailasanathar with his consort Periya Nayaki. There is a separate, compact shrine for Chandra.
Thingaloor is the shrine where one prays for the health and prosperity of one’s mother. Kailasanatha bestows fame on the devotee and cures skin and eye problems. There is also a belief that near-fatal snake bites are cured if one visits here and prays to Kailasanatha and Chandra.
