Bhuvarahava Perumal Temple Srimushnam

Srimushnam, a small village near Virudachalam is one of the avatara sthalams of Maha Vishnu. It is widely believed Maha Vishnu took his third of his ten avatars here as Varaha Rupam. Unlike the other Vishnu Temples, the main deity is a small one and considered to be a Swayambu (self made).The main deity is called Sri Bhu Varahar and the Goddess is Ambujavalli Thayar. Maha Vishnu took to Varaha Rupam to kill Hiranyaksha, who stole Bhudevi. The deity faces towards south while the body faces towards west. The body is in human form. The temple built by Nayak dynasty and the architecture and the sculptures resembles their style. The temple has number of beautiful sculptures. Apart from Sannadhi for the main deity and the thayar, separate Sannadhi for Andal, Ramanujar, Senai Mudaliyar, Desikan, Venugopal and Kuzhanthai Amman Sannadhys are also there. A separate Sannadhi for Pattabiramar is outside the temple. Rama, Lakshanmana, Bhartha and Shatrugana with Hanuman and Sakarathazhwar adore the Sannadhi. There is a beautiful big tank and a huge Peepal tree on the eastern of the temple.
