Jakarta Murugan Temple: The Largest Hindu Temple in Indonesia
Thiruporur Kandaswamy Temple at Thiruporur, a panchayat town in Chengalpattu district in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu, BHARAT (India) 🚩

Dedicated to the god Sri Murugan
As per #VedicHistory, Murugan fought with demons in three places, namely,
the sea at Tiruchendur,
land at Thirupparankundram and
in air at Thiruporur.

Sage Agastya on his way to Pothigai hills visited this place.
Since Muruga won over Tharuka asuran, this place came to be Porur (por in Tamil means war) and also called by other names like Tharukapuri and Samarapuri.

According to the sthala puraanam, at some point of time, the place was submerged in a deluge.
A sage named Chidambara Adigal was residing in Madurai and a divine voice asked him to unearth the statue under a palm tree.
He dug out the statue and built a temple around it.
There is a separate shrine dedicated to him in the temple and he is given special respect during the Vaikasi Visagam festival.
During the last event of the festival, he is depicted merging with the presiding deity.

Nagchandreshwar Temple, Ujjain — A Divine Mystery Unveiled Only Once a Year!

In the heart of Ujjain, on the third floor of the Mahakaleshwar Temple, lies a hidden gem that opens to devotees just one day each year — the sacred Nagchandreshwar Temple.

🕉️ On Nag Panchami (Shravan Shukla Panchami), this ancient temple is opened for darshan, revealing a mesmerizing 11th-century sculpture of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati seated gracefully on the coiled hood of Nagraj Takshak, with Lord Ganesha also present.

✨ What makes it truly unique?

It's the only known temple in the world where Lord Shiva, not Vishnu, is shown resting on a serpent bed (Sarpa Shayya).

The deity is surrounded by intricately carved multi-hooded serpents, symbolizing divine energy and eternal protection.

Legend says Nagraj Takshak himself resides here.

🛕 This one-day darshan draws thousands of devotees seeking blessings, protection, and spiritual awakening.
Om Gam Ganapataye Namah

Shri Idagunji Maha Ganapati Temple — located in Uttara Kannada on Karnataka’s Karavali (coastal) region — has drawn devotees for over 1,500 years. It is celebrated as one of the six sacred Ganesha shrines along the so-called "Ganapati Coast."

Legend and ritual: Couples who come seeking marriage are believed to receive divine blessing here. As part of a special practice, the bride’s and groom’s families place small tokens (chits) at the deity’s feet; if the token placed on the right side falls first, it is taken as a favorable sign that the marriage will be blessed.

Timings: 6:00 AM–1:00 PM and 3:00 PM–8:30 PM

Location: Idagunji, Uttara Kannada — on the coast between Murudeshwar and Gokarna

Day 1- Arishina Kumkuma Alankara
🌻ಮಲ್ಲೇಶ್ವರದ ಶ್ರೀ ಬನಶಂಕರಿ ಅಮ್ಮ🌻
Sri Banashankari Sharannavaratri Mahothsava
🌸 Navaratri – Day 3 🌸
Today we worship Maa Chandraghanta, the radiant goddess with a crescent bell on her forehead, mounted on a lion.

When Shiva arrived in a fierce, terrifying form for marriage, it was Parvati who transformed into Chandraghanta. With calmness in her heart but courage in her stance, she reassured the world and balanced Shiva’s energy. Later, in battle, just the sound of her bell crushed thousands of demons – proving that fear vanishes when courage takes charge.

Maa Chandraghanta teaches us: Stay calm in life, but when the moment demands, roar like a lion and act with fearless courage.

🙏 May she bless your family with bravery, peace, and prosperity.
