| Video Discription | Jalakanteshwara Temple is located in Vellore District of TamilNadu inside Vellore Fort . It is one of the most devine Temple of Bhagwan Shiva. It is located at a distance of 8Km from Golden Temple Vellore. According to folktales, Jalakandeswarar Temple has initially been a prominent ant-hill, surrounded by water collected as a result of rainfall. A Shiva Lingam (a symbol of Lord Shiva, a Hindu deity), was placed at this position and consequently worshipped by devotees. However, soon after a chieftain at that time who was in charge of the fort, Chinna Bommi Nayaka, had a dream where he believed that Lord Shiva had asked him to construct a temple at the site. As a result, Chinna Bommi Nayaka went ahead to follow the divine instructions he had received at built a temple in 1550 AD. The temple mainly consisting of a Lingam, engulfed by water is named Jalakandeswarar Temple to pay tribute to these physical aspects. The structure of this place of worship was constructed during the rule of the Vijayanagara Empire (1540 - 1572 AD). However, during the Muslim invasion, the temple was vandalised. At this time, the idol of the main supreme being of the temple was salvaged by devotees and shifted to the Jalakanda Vinayakar Temple in Sathuvacheri, where it remained for an extended period. The idol was then secretly returned to the fort in 1981, and the site was officially reinstated as a Hindu temple, open for public access. The temple is currently managed and conserved by Archaeological Survey of India under the guidance of the Government of India. The grand Jalakandeswarar Temple is a magnificent representation of grand Vijayanagaram Architecture. The temple features: intricate embellishments; life-like statues, sturdy pillars made of rock that have been fashioned into symbolic creatures such as dragons, lions and horses; a large porch (Mandapam); an enormous tower (gopuram). This model of architectural expertise also accommodates a well, known as the Ganga Gouri Theertham, from which water is extracted for the purpose of bathing the statues of supreme beings (Abhishekam). #Jalakandeswarar #vellore #Jalakanteshwara MedmxUiHBMY |
