Ganesha, Ganesh, Pillayarpatti
Ganesha
Inside the oldest cave temple on
rock cut form
Situated between Pudukkottai and
Karaikudi towns
Rock cut images of Lingodbhavar and
Lord Shiva
Testimonies to the vibrant temple
culture of Tamil Nadu
Steeped in tradition passed down
through centuries
Pillayar…portrayed with two arms and
a trunk
Curled towards right in valampuri style
and form
6 feet tall mammoth Ganesh in
excavated cave
Off of a hill in the precincts of
the temple
Along with Tiruveesar, Marudankudi
Eesar
Vaadaamalar Mangai enriching the
stalapuranam
Lord Vinayaga, the Lord of Wisdom
blesses
Wishes of devotees satisfied like
Karpagam tree
Seated without Angusapasam with his legs
folded
Artha Padma asana of the
incomparable leader
Valampuri Vinayaga facing north
bless all with wealth
Inscriptions dated back to 1600 year
ancient dwelt
Innermost rock cut shrines of
Karpaga Vinayaga
Came into being along with Tiruveesar
in pre-pallava origin
Reminiscences of Pandya Patronage to
this temple
As we visit this place to seek his
blessings,
We bow down to him in devotion for
unending peace
Vinayaga is the beginning and he is the
path for growth
God of beginnings and God of wisdom bless us
Making us realize the inner
strengths of all of us
Ganesha, Ganesha…Ganapathi Baba
Moriya!
Ganesha, Ganesha, Pillayarpatti
Ganesha!
