Alagar Koil, Madurai

Alagar Koil, Madurai

HistoryEdit

Alagar Koil or Azhakar Kovil temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu in his avatar as Goddess Meenakshi’s brother, Alagar (or Sundararajan). Legend has it that Lord Alagar was unable to attend his sister’s wedding to Sundareshwar (an avatar of Lord Shiva) and had turned back from the banks of river Vaigai. This event is re-enacted every year through a procession of the idol of Alagar from this temple till the Meenakshi Temple in Madurai, during the Chitra Festival that celebrates her marriage. It is believed that the temple was beautified by the Pandyan rulers during the 13th century, especially the sanctum sanctorum and the main vimana, that were plated in gold. After this, the Nayaka kingdom during the time between the 16th and 18th centuries gained much revenue for renovating and further beautifying the temple. The central idol of Lord Alagar is a fine example of ancient craftsmanship, all in pure gold. Other deities here include Andal and Lord Alagar’s wife, Kalyana Sundaravalli. An interesting legend has it that at the shrine of Karuppannaswamy (the God of Kallars) and the finely carved 18 steps around his shrine prohibit any visitor from speaking anything but the truth. The temple contains inscriptions from various dynasties, including those that point towards the presence of Jain rulers and Ashoka’s reign.

Lord Siva in his incarnation as Sundareswarar and his fish-eyed spouse, Meenakshi, are enshrined in this twin temple. There are four massive gateways enclosing these two shrines. Even a casual visitor is fascinated by the many paintings and sculptures. A striking feature of the temple is the astonishing structure know as “Ayiramkaal Mandapam” or the Hall of Thousand Pillars and each pillar features high, ornate, bold sculptures that look life like.
