காத லாகிக் கசிந்துகண் ணீர்மல்கி
ஓது வார்தமை நன்னெறிக் குய்ப்பது
வேதம் நான்கினும் மெய்ப்பொரு ளாவது
நாதன் நாமம் நமச்சி வாயவே
sings Thevaram to the Almight Sivan.
While passing through butt road to Guindy railway station happened to see the Kaasi Vishwanathar Kovil board and wanted to visit for a long time. Finally the time arrived this Saturday evening. Tucked inside the small street just before the signal to reach the kathipara flyover, this is an old temple.
Having rained just before going inside the praharam was filled with water near the Kodi maram. As you go inside the main sanctum is quite small unlike ancient temples. Sivan bestowed his darshan in velli kapu with Naga crown. On either side of him were his sons. To the right was the ambal. Once out of this main deity's sanctum to the left side one can see the Anjaneya and Ayyappan. As you go around the temple the navagraha sanctum is there.
After having got a satisfying darshan came home to search about this temple. There were some interesting info in the internet. One such information says this temple has connectivity to the near by small hill - now called St.Thomas Mount. Saint Bhrihu the reason for this temple had meditated there it seems. Times have changed and the once a shivite area is no more that now.
siva siva!
