The Sree Subramanya Swami Temple, Thazhakkara and the diety “Shadadhara Parathishta” of Lord Murugan has a
historical presence of over 1000 years. Lord Murugan, assuming a human form
representing a diety, holding a spig of paddy and Fire (Torch) showers blessings
on his devotees. The Lord carrying spig of paddy is interpreted as the custodian
of wealth.
The Lord is a great protector of his devotees and healer of physical and
mental ailments. He protects each and every part of the body of his devotees
and even the powerful Navagrahas would be passive because of his grace.
He Himself is said to have told Naradan, "Those who have sought refuge
in Me have no fear, they won't be left with any needs; those who are devoted
to Me have no enemies, they have no diseases...". |

was built by a Yogeeswaran over thousand years ago. In the early rears,
the temple was under Edapally Elangur Swarupam. Later the title of the temple
was found handed over to the Waryath family. The temple had under its possession
lots of moveable and immovable assets. Though the administration of the
temple was under the Waryath family, major festivals were planned and managed
by the Thazakkara No:71. N.S.S. Karayogam. In 1979, the temple was taken
over by Sree Subrahmanya Haindava Seva Samithi. |
