点评:Sri Saneeswarar Temple, Kalpattu, Villupuram
The Kalpattu Saneeswarar Temple, dedicated to the planet Saturn (Saneeswarar), is located in Kalpattu, Vilupuram district, Tamil Nadu.
This unique temple is known for its distinctive idol of Lord Saturn and other deities. The main deity of the temple is Lord Saneeswarar, representing the planet Saturn. The idol of Lord Saturn is an impressive 21 feet tall.
Shani Dev, associated with discipline and justice, becomes angry when people engage in dishonest, unethical, or immoral behavior. Neglecting duties, being disrespectful to elders, and mistreating the underprivileged also invoke his wrath.
Here the diety is depicted as having a merciful expression, wearing black and blue-colored attire, with his left leg on the ground and the right leg resting on a gigantic crow, his divine vehicle. In addition to Lord Saneeswarar, the temple features shrines for various deities, including Uchishta Ganapathi, 11 feet tall Panchmukha Easwarar (Bhuvaneswarar), Bhuvaneswari, Gopalakrishnan, 18 feet tall Ashtadasbhuja Durga (Mother Durga with 18 hands), Panchamukha Anjaneyar (Lord Hanuman with five faces), and 8 feet tall Dandayuthapani (Lord Murugan with a staff) with Vimanas (roof towers) over their respective shrines.
Although the temple is believed to be around 1,000 years old, the current structure looks modern. May be the current temple was reconstructed? Unlike other temples in tamilnadu, this building is very simple devoid of any art work or colors. The temple is very simple with straight lines, monochrome shade.
There are lots of women who sell lamps, flowers and archana bowls. The lamp has black cloth thiri may be to match with saneeswaran's color code. Many devotees were around to light lamps and many were taking advice from the poojaris in the temple. May be they are the ones in different stages of ezhara Sani period.
Legend has it that Ravana, the demon king, wished to grant his son Indrajit eternal life. To achieve this, he performed intense penance and obtained control over the planets, including Saturn. However, Saturn managed to cast his aspect on the child, frustrating Ravana's plans. In response, Ravana broke Saturn's leg, leaving him lame. As a result, the idol of Lord Saturn in the temple has one leg resting on the crow to conceal this disability. Devotees visit this temple to seek relief from the adverse aspects of the planet Saturn. Saturn transition days, which occur approximately once every two and a half years, are of particular significance for devotees.
The Kalpattu Saneeswarar Temple is a unique and spiritually significant place, known for its exceptional idol of Lord Saturn and other deities.
This place made me feel calm and compressed.

卡尔帕图桑尼斯瓦拉神庙供奉土星(桑尼斯瓦拉),位于泰米尔纳德邦维鲁普拉姆区的卡尔帕图。
这座独特的神庙以其独特的土星神和其他神像而闻名。神庙的主神是桑尼斯瓦拉神,代表土星。土星神的雕像高达 21 英尺,令人印象深刻。
沙尼德夫与纪律和正义有关,当人们做出不诚实、不道德或不道德的行为时,他会生气。玩忽职守、不尊重长辈和虐待弱势群体也会激怒他。
在这里,神被描绘成面带慈悲,身着黑色和蓝色服装,左腿着地,右腿放在一只巨大的乌鸦(他的神车)上。除了 Saneeswarar 神,寺庙还供奉着各种神灵,包括 Uchishta Ganapathi、11 英尺高的 Panchmukha Easwarar (Bhuvaneswarar)、Bhuvaneswari、Gopalakrishnan、18 英尺高的 Ashtadasbhuja Durga(有 18 只手的杜尔迦女神)、Panchamukha Anjaneyar(有五个面孔的哈努曼神)和 8 英尺高的 Dandayuthapani(手持权杖的穆鲁甘神),其各自的神龛上方有 Vimanas(屋顶塔)。
虽然人们认为这座寺庙已有 1000 年左右的历史,但目前的建筑看起来很现代。也许是现在的寺庙是重建的?与泰米尔纳德邦的其他寺庙不同,这座建筑非常简单,没有任何艺术品或色彩。寺庙非常简单,线条笔直,色调单一。
有很多妇女卖灯、花和 archana 碗。灯上铺着黑布,可能是为了与 saneeswaran 的颜色代码相匹配。许多信徒在周围点灯,许多人在听取寺庙中 poojaris 的建议。也许他们是 ezhara Sani 时期不同阶段的人。
传说魔王拉瓦那希望赐予他的儿子因陀罗吉特永生。为了实现这一目标,他进行了强烈的忏悔并获得了对包括土星在内的行星的控制权。然而,土星设法将他的形象投射到孩子身上,挫败了拉瓦那的计划。作为回应,拉瓦那打断了土星的腿,使他跛脚。结果,寺庙中的土星神像将一条腿放在乌鸦上以掩盖这一残疾。信徒们参观这座寺庙是为了寻求摆脱土星不利影响的解脱。土星过渡日大约每两年半发生一次,对信徒来说具有特殊意义。
卡尔帕图萨内斯瓦拉神庙是一个独特且具有重要精神意义的地方,以其独特的土星神和其他神灵的雕像而闻名。
这个地方让我感到平静和紧张。
