Subject: Divya Desams series - Astabhujakaram - Kanchipuram

ASHTABHUJAKARAM
 
 
This Divya shetram is located in the temple town of Kanchipuram
 
The moolavar is Aadikesava perumal also called Gajendravaradan in a standing posture, with eight hands holding eight weapons and hence the name Ashtabhujakaram. The Thayar is Alarmelmangai. The Theertham is Gajendra pushkarini and the Vimanam Gaganakriti Vimanam.
 
The legend has it that upon the request of Brahma Lord Vishnu with His eight different weapons warded off the intruders of the yagna. It is also associated with Gajendra Moksham, and Peyaazhwar was blessed with a vision of Gajendra Moksham at this shrine. Even today it is seen, Siva guarding the yagna sala in the form of Sarabesan.
Azhwar Mangalaasaasanam:
Tirumangai Azhwar ? 1118-27, 2776
Peyaazhwar ? 2380 (pasuram number as found in Naalaayira Divya prabhandam). Gajendra moksha festival is being celebrated in the Tamil month of Aadi.
