our family deity is also sadai udaiyar. but my father was telling all these days that sadaiudayar is sivan. when we went this year, the temple preist told us that sadaiudayar is ayyapan. Can you clarify this please?
Sri Sadaiudaiyar is Bala jadathari ( a small boy with matted hairlocks)Sastha with a dhandam in his hands. If you would watch the photo closely, he is with Sri RajaRajeswari (Ponnunchadachi- golden haired goddess) and Icha and Kriya Sakthi (BadraKali). Interestingly, the elephant of Sastha is in front of the Ganapathy in the temple.
Hi All, I am from Chennai, currently in abroad. Because of which, i am unable to visit the temple as and when I wish. I would request you to kindly post the Photo of Sadaiudaiyar so that I can atleast keep it in my mail box and see when ever I feel like. The below website of the temple trust is not working: <CITE>swamisadaiudayar.org</CITE> <CITE></CITE><CITE></CITE> <CITE></CITE> <CITE>It would be very helpful if u can do.</CITE> <CITE></CITE> <CITE>Thanks in advance </CITE> <CITE></CITE> <CITE>Regards</CITE> <CITE></CITE> <CITE>Ravi</CITE>
Paanza, Sadaiudayar is our kuladeivam (Husband's side). As ladies are not allowed i have never been there. Thanks for sharing the goddess picture. Is there any photo of the temple (outside gopuram) too with you? Do they allow to take photos of the deities?
There is no gopuram of the temple...only vimanam. This is a pen vazhi kaani temple and the kula deivam becomes the deity of the family for both son and daughter when they get married.
Dear Paanzaa Thanks for the information. I will be going to the temple this Sep 2011. Is there is any Shiva temple in Kiz Ambur ? Do you know who does the pooja for the temple from 1 - 15 of the month ? I would like to have their contact information. How do we pray daily Sri Sadaiudaiyar daily ? I have one more question - Why Sri Sadaiudaiyar has Gadandai in His hand ? - Thx Ravindran Ramanathan
hi, is this temple near udayneri perumal kovil.. like 15 mts walk from the temple to the paddy fields...in between there is an amman temple also.. i know there is a sastha near the paddy fields.. so was checking if sadaiudayar and sastha the same?
