Conserve A Pre-historic Temple





Well, this is the 1st post here, and a retentive article now, wont engage in so many ideas or story, so I decided to post more later or in few days time about friends, members and 'underlying' stories which constitute to the temple.

Yes, I am talking about Lord Khotai Muniswarar temple here in Batu Caves which located near the (old kenneison co) now, YTL co. Efforts are being put together by everyone especially among the youth members to reconstruct the temple and build it again. Donations are being raised all over place and, honestly, decent effort were put altogether by everyone.

Let me be more specific. About the temple, there is Lord Khotai Muniswarar's statue staabanam as the moolashthanam and Lord Edumbar as kaval theivam in front of the temple.

In future a Nanthee will be positioned here in front of the Lord and soon will be recognised as the Vaghana of the main deity.

A few metres away There is Lord Karupanna Swamy or Lord Karuparr, as we all know Lord Karrupaswamy is first deity Ayyapa's Bhaktargal will worship first before their Yathirai or any pooja of Lord Ayyapa. As the eighteen steps in sabari malai, here in the temple exactly eighteen small steps were built in front of Lord Karupar to idolize Lord Ayyapa and Lord Karupanna Swamy. You see thats why people here even already assigned a general specific name which sounds like this " Pathi-neTTaam padee Karupar".( Lord Karupar on the eigtheenth step).
I will brief more about the Lord Karupar in our future post.

There is AMMAN(AathiParasakhti) temple next to Moolasthanam, and Lord Jada Muni's temple few meter away in front of the main temple. Every temple here has its own strories, and we will try to compile all the stories and post it for those who seem to be interested about the temple.


Our next post will be about the members and few pictures of the current outlook of the temple.

Thanks for reading and Cheers Always.
