Description

Thiruvenkadu, one of the Navagraha sthalams, is the Bhudhan sthalam dedicated to Planet mercury. Thiruvenkadu’s Sanskrit name is Shwetaranya and both literally mean- Sacred white forest. This is also called Adhi Chidambaram and the Chidambara Rahasyam is also here. Here the lord is Shwetarayeswarar and his consort is Brahma Vidyambal. Indran, Airavatam, Bhudhan, Suryan and Chandran are said to have worshipped Shiva here.

Facts/Mythology

Marutwasura, an asura, was troubling the rishis and people of Thiruvenkadu. The people prayed to Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva sent Nandi—his vahana, to fight the demon. Nandi defeated the demon and threw it into the ocean. The demon then returned with greater intensity to attack the innocent people. Once again, Shiva sent Nandi to fight the demon but Nandi couldn’t defeat him this time and was hurt by him. Shiva’s third eye opened and he killed the demon. The idol of Aghoramurthy, a manifestation of Shiva’s anger is installed here.
