Temple
Kolanjiappar temple in Manavalanallur, a village in the outskirts of Virudhachalam in Cuddalore district, Tamil Nadu, is dedicated to the God Murugan.
Significance of Kolanjiappar Temple
The presiding deity has no form as he is a Swayambhumurthy. The 3-feet tall Bali Peetam in the sanctum sanctorum is worshipped as the deity. There is a chakra carved in stone below this deity with the Satakshara Mantra (Mantra of six letters) of Murugan. The sanctum has windows in all three directions, which cannot be seen in other temples. People dedicate all poojas and Abishekam to Murugan in the form of the Bali Peetam.
People submit prayers to Kolanjiappar. Any issues worrying them like theft, non-return of money lent, diseases, family problems, unemployment, delay in marriage, and poverty can be submitted in writing. The submission is called Piradhu Kattudhal and addressed to Manavalanallur Kolanjiappar. The submission contains the name, place, and prayer of the devotee. The prayer should be clear and handed over to the priest, who places them at the feet of God. The priest performs Archana, puts Vibhuthi (holy ash) on it, and returns it to the devotee, who ties it with a thread to the Vel (spear) in the Muniappa shrine and leaves the temple.
The devotee’s prayer will be answered in ninety days. The devotee pays a fee calculated at ten paise covering the distance between his place and the temple. Once the prayer is answered, the devotee pays the fee and withdraws the submission. People crowd to this temple to submit their prayers and wishes.
The temple has a five tiered rajagopuram, the gateway tower, which pierces the granite wall surrounding the temple. The sanctum faces East and the image of the presiding deity is a small altar 3 ft (0.91 m), unlike most temples in the state which have sculpted granite or stucco images. There are separate shrines for Idumban, Kadamban. There are two images of Muniappa and Veera facing the sanctum in the Mahamandapam. There is a shrine of Siddhi Vinayakar in the Mahamandapam.
