This week's Podcast is about "Arulmigu  Periya Anjaneyar 
Thirukovil,Ambur." 
The story has been glorified in a temple in Ambur in Vellore 
district which dates back to centuries.   The 11-foot idol of 
Hanuman carved out of hard black stone has Saneeswara under his foot.
The idol and the temple are believed to have been renovated probably 
in 1489, during the period of Krishanadevaraya of Vijayanagar 
kingdom who then ruled this region.   An inscription found in one 
corner of the temple testifies to this fact.  In 1976, the temple 
was taken over by the HR & CE department of the State Government. In 
1987, Maha Kumbabishekam was performed. 
Interestingly, the main deity Hanuman is place in one corner of the 
sanctum sanctorum facing south.   This is considered a rarity in 
India.  It is believed that, because devotees lit oil lamps at this 
temple, it got rid of the harmful effects of Saneeswara, in one 
stroke.   The temple has been drawing thousands of devotees 
steadily.  
In the eastern corner of Ambur town, in a place called Anaimadugu, a 
rocky foot print, believed to be that of Hanuman, receives special 
poojas once a year during the Hanuman Jayanthi celebrations.   It is 
said that Hanuman holding the Parvatha hills in one hand and 
standing on Saneeswara made a big leap from here to cross the Indian 
Ocean to reach Sri Lanka where he gave the herb to revive Lakshmana.
