Thirumeyyamとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Thirumeyyam is an ancient Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu. It is located in the district of Pudukottai, Tamilnadu, India, 21 km from Pudukottai on the Pudukottai-Karaikudi highway. It is one of the 108 divyadesams, the holy abodes of Vishnu. The presiding deity is called Sathyagiri Nathan/Sathya Murthi. The temple is old and large, and striking in appearance. The main statue of Lord Sathyagiri nathan, approximately seven feet in height, is standing on a rock, along with his wives. In the next Sannidhanam, Lord Mahavishnu's sculpture is in sleeping position, the position which is called in Tamil 'Ari thuyil', sleeping with a sense of knowing what is going on at present. Sculptures of Lord Mahavishnu in this position can be viewed in many temples, although this is one of the largest examples. There are many sannidhanams in the temple. All the statues are sculptured beautifully. The devotees who like to pray before Lord Mahavishnu in his 'Ari thuyil' position for some minutes and who want to pray for few minutes before Sri Renganathar, Srirangam and didn't get such a chance, may visit Thirumeyyam.
