The Shivalinga in the temple is a Swambu with footprints of a tiger on the Linga. Also visible are the hip bone and hairs tied up called Jadamudi on the head.
The divine wonder in the temple is that the rays of Sun fall only on the back of the Shivalinga without the shadow of the Linga in both Utharayana and Dkashinayana seasons. (Utharayana covers the six months from January-February to June-July marking Sun’s journey from South to North. Dakshinayana covers the six months commencing from July-August to December-January marking Sun’s journey from North to South).
Lord Dakshinamurthy in the temple has one of his legs on a lion while the other is on Muyalagan symbolizing ignorance. This is the only temple in India with a Dakshinamurthy in this form. He is praised as Rajayoga Simha Dakshinamurthy. He is also called Arthanareeswara Dakshinamurthy as He has one leg on the Simha attributed to Mother Shakti. As the Lord has one leg on the Muyalagan as Nataraja and the other on the lion, He represents the majestic look of a male and the softness of the feminine character. | | |
