Veerabhadra Swamy Temple
Kumbakonam,Tanjore District
Main Deity : Veerabhadra Swamy.
Prominence of the shrine : Veerabhadran was believed to be born from the braid and sweat of Lord Shiva. But people believe that he is from Shiva’s generation. Veerabhadra’s divine purpose is to kill those who delinquent charity and those who don’t believe in God. As how Narashimaha Avatar for Vaishnavas, Veerabhadra Avatar for Saivas.
Veerabhadran seems to be aggressive outside but he is cool-minded inside. This is proved by the creatures which live in his body. Scorpions which lives in cold place is used by him as garland. Spiders and 14 snakes are used as ornaments in his body. This appearance when combined with nature appears to be divine and reflection of cold.
Prowess is considered to be in different forms. The big prowess is winning himself. On Tuesdays, in Bharani Nankashatra and Ashtami Thithi, special poojas will be conducted for Veerabhadran. Veerabhadran is worshipped by using basil flowers and wrapping him with butter.
