Ardhanareeswarar Temple, Tiruchengode – Theerthams
Tiruchengode,
one of the most important religious places in South India, is said to
have 108 Theerthangal (or holy ponds). Of these, few are available
now and these Theerthams are famous to bestow certain boons like curing
diseases, birth of children to childless young mothers and wealth and
prosperity to those who take a holy dip in these ponds. Thus, Tiruchengode has
gained importance not only by its deities but also by the medicinal properties
of the holy ponds (Theerthams) found here.
Of
these, the Ammayappar Theertham is the most important one as it is found at the
feet of Lord Ardhanareeswara. This spring of fresh water came into existence by
God's grace and the power of Rishis and Siddhars.
