Sri Bhoomi Neela Samedha Aadhimoola Perumal (Gajendra Varadhar) Temple

Very old and good temple need to visit at least once in our lifetime. Temple situated at Bank of river Tamirabharani.

Very nice temple amidst green fields on the banks of Tamaraibarani river. It is believed that Gajendra Moksha happened here. Village name (அத்தாளநல்லூர்) is also indicative of Gajendra Moksha incident.

🙏

Important temple, on banks of Thamirabarani river.

Where Gajendra the elephant was rescued from a crocodile by Perumal ( Lord Venkateswara)

Not part of the 108 Vaishnava Tirupatis, but an important holy place. Mentioned in Bhagavatapuranam. Thankfully, only the tiny fishes bite us and not a croc. Yes, the Tamraparani river flows just behind the temple. Less than 50 metres from the entrance!

Most beautiful temple 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

King Indradhyumna by name ruled the region in accordance with the advice of Sage Agasthya, his Guru.  One day, he failed to receive the Guru when he came to his court as he was engaged in entertainments.  Angry Agasthya cursed him to become an elephant and be their head in the jungles.  He fell on the earth as an elephant bearing the name Gajendran – head of elephants.

Similarly, a Gandharva, a community noted for its musical skills, fell to the curse of Sage Kabila.  While the sage was bathing in the river, the Gandharva, not meaning to offend him, caught hold of the legs of the sage as he was also bathing the river.  The angry sage cursed him to become a crocodile.  He told the Gandharva that he would remain a crocodile till Lord Vishnu would cut his head with His discus.

King Indradhyumna and the Gandharva thus began their cursed lives in earth and water then.

Due to scarcity of water caused by famine, the elephants came to River Tambiraparani to quench their thirst.  The crocodile in the river caught hold of Gajendra who fought with the creature to free itself from its hold.  The struggle went on for thousands of years.

Gajendra saw a lotus bud in the middle of the river and immediately thought of Lord Vishnu and offered it to Him crying ‘Adhimoolame’.  Lord rushed to the rescue of the animal and cut off the crocodile with His discus.  When the Lord gave His hand to Gajendra to drag him to the bank, he requested the Lord to stay there itself to rescue people in distress.  Lord obliged the prayers and stayed in this holy soil.  Both were simultaneously relieved of the curses.

OM NAMO NARAYANAYA. Lord Vishnu as Gajendra varadar .there are more than 20 places considered where Gajendra moksha actually took place .but this place is mentioned in Srimad Bagavatham as the exact place where Gajendra moksha took place.Tamirabarani runs south to north just behind this temple making this place even more holy.on the river banks we can see a mandapam where a pillar is worshipped as Lord Narashimma.
