Adithyapuram Surya Temple

Good energy! Anandanam on Sundays. We love to visit this temple whenever we have a chance. The red sandalwood paste you get from the temple as Prasadam is good for your senses. Good for kids to spend time as well.

Deity worshiping in the circular shaped sanctum sanctorum is the idol of God Surya (Sun).
Rakthachandana is the main offering here.
Visiting this temple on Sunday having importance.

Adithyapuram Surya Temple is a Hindu temple located in Iravimangalam near Kaduthuruthy in Kottayam district in the Indian state of Kerala. It is noted mainly as the only 'Adithya' (Hindu solar deity) shrine in the state.The temple is situated just 200 m (0.20 km) from the main highway leading to Vaikom. It is about 3 km from Kaduthuruthy, 17 km from Ettumanoor and 16 km from Vaikom.

Adithyapooja (for curing eye and skin related diseases), Udayasthamana pooja, Enna (oil) Abhishekam, Bhagavathi pooja and Navagraha (9 planet deities) pooja are the most important poojas in the temple.

The 'Sreekovil' or the sanctum sanctorum of the temple is in a circular shape. The idol faces west with a meditative posture. It is made of a special kind of stone that has the capability to absorbe oil. 'Abhishekam' or the holy bathing of idol is performed in morning followed by the abhishekam of water. It is really a wonder that there will be no presence of oil after sprinkling water in the idol. The upper right hand holds the 'Chakra' (rotating disk) and the upper left hand holds the 'Shankha' (conch) and the lower right and left hands are in a 'tapo mudra' posture. An interesting fact is that there are no 'Navagraha' pratishtas here.

'Ada Nivedyam' and 'Raktha Chandana samarppanam' are the main offerings often done to cure diseases.

The last Sundays of Malayalam months 'Vrishchikam' (October and November) and 'Medam' (May and June) are considered to be the most propitious days.

A devine place. This is an old temple and a rare one with the workshop of diety Sun (സൂര്യൻ). As it is a huge temple, the trees gives much feel when we relax when we reach outside. Also feel blessed while visit there. The management keeps the beauty of village as they can and also the temple very much.

Lord sun temple is very rare.. Its a new experience for me. Red sandal is the main prasadam..

The road to this temple is beautiful. Temple in itself is small but well maintained.

The divine ambience makes the mind calm and satisfied. The devaswam should keep the traditional beauty of the temple.
