Legend
[edit]
As per Hindu legend, once the accountant Of the temple was asked to submit the accounts to the king. The accountant did not have the correct accounts during the time and feared punishment from the king. An ardent devotee of Shiva, the accountant prayed to the god to rescue him. Shiva, in the form of the accountant, submitted the accounts. The king was pleased and praised the accountant, who was amused at the events. He later realised that it was divine grace. Since Shiva came down and submitted the accounts, he came to be known as Ezhutharinathar.[3] As per another legend, the presiding deity was worshipped by an elephant.[4] There is also a belief that sage Agastya attained knowledge about grammar after worshipping Ezhutharinathar.[5] The temple is counted as one of the temples built on the northern banks of River Kaveri.[6]
Architecture
[edit]The temple is located 10 km (6.2 mi) north-west of Kumbakonam on the Kumbakonam - Thirupurambiyam road. Ezhutharinathar temple has a rectangular plan with two prakarams (outer courtyard) covering an area of 1 acre (0.40 ha) and a five-tiered rajagopuram (gateway tower) facing East. The central shrine faces east and houses the image of Ezhutharinathar (Shiva) in the form of the lingam made of granite and is believed to be a swayambhu (self manifested). There are shrines for Shiva's sons Ganesha (Vinayagar) and Kartikeya (Murugan), on either side of the sanctum entrance. The granite images of Nandi (the bull and vehicle of Shiva), a tall flag staff and a Balipeeta, the place of offering, axial to the sanctum. As in other Shiva temples of Tamil Nadu, the first precinct or the walls around the sanctum of Ona Kantheeswarar has images of Dakshinamurthy (Shiva as the Teacher), Durga (warrior-goddess) and Chandikeswarar (a saint and devotee of Shiva). The temple precinct is surrounded by granite walls. Following the legend of the elephant, the roof over the sanctum is in the form of an elephant, called Gajaprashta Vimana.[2][5]
Worship and religious practises
[edit]The temple priests perform the puja (rituals) during festivals and on a daily basis. The temple rituals are performed four times a day; Kalasanthi at 8:00 a.m., Uchikalam at 11:30 a.m., Sayarakshai at 6:30 p.m and Arthajamam at 8:00 p.m.. Each ritual comprises four steps: abhisheka (sacred bath), alangaram (decoration), naivethanam (food offering) and deepa aradanai (waving of lamps) for Ezhutharinathar and Nithya Kalyani. There are weekly rituals like somavaram (Monday) and sukravaram (Friday), fortnightly rituals like pradosham, and monthly festivals like amavasai (new moon day), kiruthigai, pournami (full moon day) and sathurthi. Margazhi Tiruvathirai during the Tamil month of Margazhi (December - January), Kodabisheakam during Chittirai (April - May) and Aipassi Annabishekam during Aippassi (October - November) are the three festivals celebrated in the temple.[2]
Religious significance

எழில்திக ழும்பொழி லின்னம்பர் மேவிய
நிழல்திகழ் மேனியி னீரே
நிழல்திகழ் மேனியீ னீருமை நினைபவர்
குழறிய கொடுவினை யிலரே.
Tirunavukkarasar describes the feature of the deity as:[8]
மறியொரு கையர் போலும் மாதுமை யுடையர் போலும்
பறிதலைப் பிறவி நீக்கிப் பணிகொள வல்லர் போலும்
செறிவுடை யங்க மாலை சேர்திரு வுருவர் போலும்
எறிபுனற் சடையர் போலும் இன்னம்ப ரீச னாரே.
