Avathara Pathi, Thiruchendur, Thoothukudi
Avathara
Pathi is a phrase in Tamil which represents 'The place where God incarnates'.
The Avathara Pathi is one among the holy places of Ayyavazhi, which had been erected in Thiruchendur. Avathara Pathi is located half-a-mile south to the
Murugan Temple, at the sea-shore. “Makara Theertham" (the primary
sea-theertham as per Akilam) is located here.
According
to Akilattirattu Ammanai (the holy text of Ayyavazhi) Lord
Narayana incarnated as Ayya
Vaikundar and arose from the
sea at this place. In honour of this event the Avatharappathi is erected there.
This was not included in Panchappathi.
