Poosam (Pushya)

Sri Akshayapureeswarar Temple

Legend and Stories

The place is closely associated with Planet Saturn. His son, Yama the God of Death hit Him on His leg and was lamed. Saturn began a pilgrimage to all Shiva temples for remedy. When He came here, he fell down struck by the roots of Vila tree. It was a Saturday (Sani’s own day) combined with Poosam star and Akshaya Thrithiya indicating prosperity. As He fell, the spring Poosa Gnanavavi, hidden till then, rose with force and took Him up. Lord Akshaya Pureeswara granted darshan to Him and blessed Sani with wedding. His leg became straight.

Combined with the names of Vila tree and the Gnanavari spring, the place came to be known as Vilankulam. Kulam-spring. A Siddha, Poosa Marungar by name, living in Saneeswara Loka (world), used to spill the Sanivari theertha on the springs of Shiva temples. Saneeswara has importance in such temples. The Siddha has a rare power of visiting the world of Sun and the world of the Pithrus (departed ancestors) and is the Guru of the crows. It is believed that the Siddha is visiting the temple for worship daily. 

Sri Karkadeswarar Temple

Legend and Stories

The devotees visit this temple to seek relief from the zodiac sign called Karkadaka which comprises of three stars called Ayilya, Poosa and Punarvasu. There is a hole created on the structure of the Shivalinga by Nandu and a scar by Indira. The entrance of the temple consists of a shrine for Moon, also called Chandra. The devotees who are facing problems due to the astrological Moon mainly visit this shrine.

According to a legend, a sage named Durvasa was worshiping God Shiva and a community called Gandharva appeared in front of him to mock his old appearance, The Sage tried to ignore the community members but they continued mocking him. Out of anger, the sage cursed a member to be born as a Nandu. The member realised his mistake and apologised to the sage. The sage then told him to perform a prayer dedicated to God Shiva to transform himself in the original form. The member did the same after bathing in the Pushkarini and offering God Shiva some flowers.

As this was happening, God Indira came to the same place to perform a Shiava Puja as he was advised by his Guru. God Indira wanted the power to conquer the demons which was to be granted by God Shiva. He offered God Shiva 1008 flowers everyday but soon he noticed that a flower was missing from his offerings. He then came to know about Nandu and tried to murder him with his sword. God Shiva helped the Nandu escape from God Indira’s attack by creating a hole in his Linga structure. The Shivalinga was struck by God Indira’s sword and then God Shiva appeared in front of him. God Shiva advised God Indira that he can only succeed if he adopts humility. God Shiva then granted salvation to Karkadaga-Nandu and now he is known as Karkadakeswarar.
