Divine symbol 








A RARE occurrence is attracting devotees to a pilgrim centre, a few kilometres 
away from Saint Tyagaraja's samadhi, in Thiruvaiyaru, near Thanjavur. The 
Jagadrakshaka Perumal temple, in Thirukoodalur, near Kapisthalam, on the 
Thanjavur-Kumbakonam route, one of the Divyakshetrams, and hence a holy centre 
for Vaishnavites, is being renovated.

The prakarams are ready and the reconstruction of the gopuram and shrines is 
being carried out. A month ago, when the authorities decided to cut parts of 
the jackfruit tree that was in the temple complex, for use in the renovation 
work, they found a natural formation in the shape of a big conch, about five 
feet in height and two feet wide in the middle, on the trunk. 

As the workers and devotees felt it was a divine phenomenon, the felling of 
branches was stopped. Turmeric paste was applied to mark the portion so that it 
would be clearly visible from the ground. ? DVV
