Tips for Spatika Darshan, Special Darshan & Rudrabhishek
Arulmigu Ramanatha Swamy Temple的点评
点评:Had absolutely Divine time at this temple and want to share important tips with devotees who are planning to visit. This temple is one of the 4 Dhams in India and also one of the 12 Jyotirlings and this visit made us appreciate how great & divine this place is.
We reached the temple in the morning at 5am. Did the Spatika Linga (Mani) Darshan first. Then we took bath in the water from the 22 Holy wells. After that we did Rudrabhishek Puja before proceeding to do Darshan of the main deity - Shivji followed by Parvatiji.
Listing some important tips, many of these I didn't get to read before visiting the temple.
Tip-1: Do not take your car to the temple, the parking isn't easy. You can take an auto, very inexpensive and readily available even in the early hours. You can request the hotel security guards to hail one for you.
Tip-2: Get to the West Gate and if you can afford it's a great idea to engage with one of the people who are there to help organise all the Darshans for you for a charge, it's worth it. Sharing the charges below for your reference. In our case we had taken the contact details of one from the hotel and tied up with him the previous night.
Tip-3: There is place right next to the West gate to remove your footwear. It's free, can pay small tips.
Tip-4: You can carry your mobile phones all over inside the temple. It's just that do not use them in sanctum santorum. This enables you to be able to click pictures inside of the beautiful pillars & corridors!
Tip-5: All kinds of small bags and bag packs are also allowed inside the temple. You do not need to leave them in any lockers, etc.
Tip-6: If you are not keen to take bath with the water from Holy wells you can just sprinkle some from each. We went with the intent of not doing this but then did sprinkle and were really glad that we did. This is a great experience too.
Tip-7: If you are going to take bath pls carry a change of dress, there's place to change.
Tip-8: For main Darshan pls buy the Rs.200/- ticket (not Rs.100/-) as in this que you get closest to the deity and they let you stand for a bit. Actually if you (or the person just before you in the line) has done Rudrabhishek then they let you see while they take the milk and present it to Lord Shiva, so this automatically gives you more time in front of the deity.
Tip-9: If you are still not content feel free to go and stand in the Rs.200/- line once again and get another Darshan right there! We had booked one Rs.200/- ticket online earlier so used this for the second round of Darshans.
Spatika Linga (Mani) Darshan: This is a relatively small Crystal Shivling kept right infront of the main deity for an hour in the morning. Note, the main deity is covered with a curtain at this time.
Charges what we paid to the person who joined us at the West Gate and took us around, was there with us for almost 3 hours:
Rs.200/- per head for Spatika Linga Darshan.
Rs.250/- per head for the bath at 22 Holy Wells.
Rs.5500/- per family for Rudrabhishek. (Pls not the published charge is Rs.3000/- but then they do additional things here)
Rs.200/- per head for the main deity Darshan.
Rs.50/- per head for Padmavatiji Darshan.
Finally as we really appreciated his efforts we gave him Rs.1500/- as tips but this is completely your choice.
翻译:在这座寺庙度过了一段非常神圣的时光,想与计划参观的信徒分享一些重要提示。这座寺庙是印度四大达摩之一,也是十二座 Jyotirlings 之一,这次参观让我们意识到这个地方是多么伟大和神圣。
我们早上 5 点到达寺庙。首先进行了 Spatika Linga (Mani) Darshan。然后我们在 22 口圣井的水中沐浴。之后,我们进行了 Rudrabhishek Puja,然后继续进行对主要神灵 - Shivji 的 Darshan,然后是 Parvatiji。
列出一些重要提示,其中许多我在参观寺庙之前没有读到。
提示 1:不要开车去寺庙,停车不容易。你可以乘坐汽车,非常便宜,即使在凌晨也很容易找到。你可以要求酒店保安为你叫一辆。
提示 2:到达西门,如果经济条件允许,可以找一位在那里帮你安排所有 Darshans 的人帮忙,收费的话,这是值得的。下面分享一下收费情况,供你参考。在我们的例子中,我们从酒店拿了一位工作人员的联系方式,并在前一天晚上和他联系上了。
提示 3:西门旁边就有地方可以脱鞋。这是免费的,可以付小费。
提示 4:你可以把手机带进寺庙里。只是不要在圣殿里使用它们。这样你就可以在漂亮的柱子和走廊里拍照了!
提示 5:各种小包和背包也可以带进寺庙。你不需要把它们放在任何储物柜里。
提示 6:如果你不想用圣井里的水洗澡,你可以从每个圣井里洒一些水。我们本来打算不这样做,但后来还是洒了水,我们真的很庆幸我们这么做了。这也是一次很棒的经历。
提示 7:如果您要洗澡,请带上换洗的衣服,那里有换衣服的地方。
提示 8:对于主要的 Darshan,请购买 200 卢比的门票(不是 100 卢比),因为在这个队列中,您离神像最近,他们让您站一会儿。实际上,如果您(或队列中您前面的人)已经做过 Rudrabhishek,那么他们会让你看,同时他们拿起牛奶并将其献给湿婆神,这样您就会自动获得更多时间在神像面前。
提示 9:如果您仍然不满意,请随时再次站在 200 卢比的队伍中,在那里获得另一个 Darshan!我们之前在网上预订了一张 200 卢比的门票,因此在第二轮 Darshan 中使用了它。
Spatika Linga (Mani) Darshan:这是一个相对较小的水晶湿婆林,在早上放在主神像前面一个小时。请注意,主神像此时被窗帘遮住。
费用是我们付给在西门加入我们并带我们四处游览的人的费用,他在那里陪了我们近 3 个小时:
Spatika Linga Darshan 每人 200 卢比。
22 圣井沐浴每人 250 卢比。
Rudrabhishek 每户 5500 卢比。(请注意,公布的费用是 3000 卢比,但他们在这里做额外的事情)
主神 Darshan 每人 200 卢比。
Padmavatiji Darshan 每人 50 卢比。
最后,由于我们真的很感激他的努力,我们给了他 1500 卢比的小费,但这完全是您的自由选择。
