Mahalingeswarar Temple,
Thiruvidaimarudur – Prayers
By worshipping the Prime Deity,
Lord Mahalinga Swamy, one’s sorrow and unhappiness are
alleviated. Those who wish for good marriage can perform prayers
here. Moreover, one can pray for job attainment, enhancement in business
and promotion in the job. The Lord definitely grants their wishes. Abhishekam
can be performed to the Lord with ingredients like milk, curd, panchamirtha,
rice flour, honey, rosewater, soft coconut water, sandal paste, Vibhuthi, rice
powder and tamarind powder.
Devotees in large numbers come
and worship the Mookambigai shrine, since it is considered to be
powerful. The married couples worship intensely that they should
conceive without any problems and beget babies. Likewise, women pray
for safe delivery. This kind of worship significantly prevails in
this shrine.
Devotees who circle methodically
the big prakaram and then worship the Prime Deity are surely relieved of mental
aberration, psychic depression, madness and sickness. That they enjoy great
relief and happiness could be seen even today. Devotees offer new
dhoti for Lord, Mother with new sari and offer food to the devotees who come to
the temple.
Also, they offer Naivedyam to
the Lord and distribute it to the devotees. Those who can afford can donate to
the temple renovation. Those with Anusha star can be relieved of their
afflictions in this place. This is a Parihara sthalam for Brahmmahathi dosham.
