Temple with good vibration, maintenance is lacking
Thiruvidaimarudur Mahalinga Swamy Temple的点评
点评:This large temple has good peaceful ambiance. Mahalingeswarar is the main deity and Ambal temple is on the left. Evening deeparadhanai accompanied with nadaswaram, thavil and bells with the temple hall acoustics is truly magical!!
My rating for this temple is for the overall experience and NOT the temple by itself which is wonderful by itself.
Sign board says this temple is maintained by adeenam, neverthless maintenance is sub par at best, with weeds growing in paved and unpaved areas, dark mandapams with dull or no lights, walls, gopurams and vimanas are unmaintained with molds growing on them (decide for yourself, see pics), etc., Simply shows lack of pride and apathy of management and devotees towards otherwise a wonderful temple.
This temple is well connected by public transportation on Mayiladuthurai - Kumbakonam highway about 8 kms from Kumbakonam. This is a must visit temple along with Thirubhuvanam temple and Vittal Rakhumai temple which are all few of each other. This temple takes about an hour to make it a memorable visit.
翻译:这座大寺庙有良好的宁静氛围。 Mahalingeswarar 是主神,Ambal 神庙位于左侧。晚上的 Deeparadhanai 伴随着 nadaswaram、thavil 和钟声以及寺庙大厅的音响效果真的很神奇!
我对这座寺庙的评价是针对整体体验,而不是寺庙本身,寺庙本身就很棒。
标牌上写着这座寺庙是由阿迪南 (adeenam) 维护的,尽管如此,维护工作充其量只是低于标准,杂草生长在铺砌和未铺砌的区域,黑暗的曼达帕姆 (mandapam) 光线暗淡或没有灯光,墙壁、gopuram 和 vimanas 都没有维护,上面长满了霉菌(决定你自己,看图片)等,简单地表现出管理人员和信徒对一座美妙寺庙的缺乏自豪感和冷漠。
这座寺庙与 Mayiladuthurai - Kumbakonam 高速公路上的公共交通相连,距离 Kumbakonam 约 8 公里。这是一个必须参观的寺庙,与 Thirubhuvanam 寺庙和 Vittal Rakhumai 寺庙相距甚远。参观这座寺庙大约需要一个小时,这将是一次难忘的参观。
