Support Kumbabishekam sivalokanathar - Nandhanaar Kshetram
Background
The famed Arulmigu Sivaloganathar Swamy Temple at Thiruppungur, where Nandi Devar moved aside to grant darshan to the great Nayanmaar Nandhanaar, is one of the most sacred Saiva kshetrams. This ancient temple has been sung by Tirugnana Sambandar, Appar, and Sundarar and is revered as a powerful place of divine grace.
The Maha Kumbabishekam of this holy temple is scheduled to be conducted on January 30. As part of the preparations, the temple organizers have reached out seeking support for the remaining ritual expenses.
The core components of the Kumbabishekam — including the Yagashala rituals, Sivachariar Sambavanai, Odhurvaar Sambavanai, and Annadhanam — are still pending and the organizers have reached out for support.
This will be a multi-part campaign in support of the Kumbabishekam of this highly revered kshetram. We humbly request our supporters and well-wishers to come forward and lend their support for this sacred Kumbabishekam.
