Thiruvanaikkaval Shiva Temple

Location::Thiruvanaikkaval,6 kms from Trichy
Nearest Station:Trichy
Website:http://thiruvanaikavaltemple.org/
Speciality:The name of god Shiva is called jambukeshwara and the goddess here is called as akilandeswari .An important temple among the jyothir linga stalams(temples) of India. As shiva is called as the lord of nature, the god here is in the form of water called appulingam(water state).the linga form of shiva here is partly submerged in water. Underneath the lingam (statue) a holy spring is seen from which water keeps coming always. a notable place for sculptural beauty.
Mantra:

aum tryambakaṃ yajāmahe sugandhiṃ puṣṭi-vardhanam
urvārukam iva bandhanān mṛtyor mukṣīya māmṛtāt
Recommendation:A must visit temple for everyone.
