The Historical Buildings Are The Vijayanagara Fort, Which Contains A Palace, A Bell Tower And The Saraswathi Mahal Library, Which Contains Over 30,000 Indian And European Manuscripts Written On Palm Leaf And Paper. The Brihadeeshwara Temple Built By Rajaraja Chola Was Completed Around 1010 Ad. It Also Acted As A Repository Of The Empire’s Records, As The Great Rajaraja Had Its Walls Covered With Numerous Inscriptions, Recording His Conquests And His Endowments To Various Charities.

  Kumbakonam - Swamimalai Is Another Famous And One Of The Six “padai Veedugal” Battle Camps Of Lord Muruga, Arupadaiveedu Temples. It Is The Fourth Among The Padai Veedugal. The Sacred Story Associated With This Temple Is That Lord Karthikeya Expounds The Meaning Of Pranavam, Aum To His Father, Lord Shiva, At This Location.

  Protects Against Black Magic, Accident, Sudden Death, Protect From Enemies, Even Punishes Enemies And Wins Over Enemies, Pratyangira Devi, Kumbakonam - The Pratyangira Aspect Of The Divine Has Been A Bit Of A Secret For Most Of By Gone Ages. Many Believed That Direct Experience With This Energy Was Reserved For Saints And Rishis. Seeing Pratyangira In Any Form Was Considered An Enormous Blessing. Pratyangira Comes From A Very Deep Place Within The Divine Mother, An Area Simply Known As The Void Where There Are No Thoughts Of Fear, Pain, Loss, Want, Time, Or Even Space, Just The Warmth Of The Mother'S Love. As Pratyangira Energy Manifests, It'S Often A Very Swift And Sometimes Ferocious Current. Many Of The Saints, Who Have Seen Its Energetic Expression, Have Described It As Half Lion And Half Human. She Is Always By The Side Of Her Devotees. The Siddha Masters And Great Maha Rishis Like Sri Dhurvasa Munivar And Puli Paani Siddhar Have Been Devotees Of This Mother. Pratyangira May Look Attractive Because She Radiates Power. However, Power Comes With Responsibilities, Duties And Maturity. Pratyangira Sadhana, Chanting Moola Manthram, Prayer And Puja Are Performed Mainly To Protect Oneself From Attacks Of Black Magic And To Prosper In Life. Advantages Of This Sadhana Are Too Many. Tremendous Vak Siddhi, Karya Siddhi, Healthy Body And Full Protection From Accidents, Sudden Deaths And People Who Are Dumb Are Also Benefitted. Vasikaram And Forecasts Are Possible Too. Our Innermost Desires Will Be Fulfilled. If You Are A Gruhast Sadhak, With Family, Practicing This Sadhana Improves Family Affairs, Kids And Sex Life Too. Long Life With No Diseases, Moksha Or Final Liberation Is Also Possible. This Sadhana Should Not Be Used For Petty Reasons As It Is An Ugra Sadhana. She Punishes The Enemies Of Her Devotees. The Temple Was Built Amidst Eight Cemeteries, Burning Ghats And No Archanai Or Abishekam Is Performed In This Temple. Only Homam Is Done On “no Moon Nights” And The Main Ingredient For The Homam Is Dried Chillies Thrown In Tones, In The Homan Fire, But It Is Surprising To Note, That The Chillies Never Harm Any One Participating In The Homan While It Is Burning In The Fire. Normally The Red Chillies Smoke While Burnt In Fire Harm Human Beings And Cause Cough Non Stop. But It Will Not Happen While Tons Of Chillies Are Thrown Into Homam Fire At This Temple. Performing Yagams, Homams And Prayers To The Goddess, Protects True Devotees From Enemies And Even Punishes Enemies And Wins Over Their Evil Plotting. If You Are A True Devotee She Is The Most Wonderful Mother. She Is Mahashakthi And She Is Also Lord Narashimha'S Wife Narashimee, Which Is Another Form Of Maha Lakshimi.
