📍 Location and Sacred Names
• Region: Nadu Naadu (Middle Country), Tamil Nadu.
• Location: Located near Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu.
• Unique Significance (The Hill): The main shrine is situated on a hillock known as Aushadhagiri, which translates to “Hill of Medicinal Herbs.” Legend holds that this hill is a fragment of the Sanjeevani Hill dropped by Hanuman.
🙏 The Deities and Postures
• Moolavar (Presiding Deity): Sri Devanatha Perumal (The Lord of the Devas). He is also hailed as Daiva Nayakan (The Divine Master) and Moovar-Aagiya-Oruvan (The One who manifests as the Trinity – Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva).
o Posture: Standing posture.
• Thaayar (Consort): Sri Hemambujavalli Thaayar (also known as Vaikunda Nayaki).
• Utsavar: Lord is taken out during processions.
✨ Spiritual and Philosophical Importance (SEO Focus)
• Abode of Sri Vedantha Desikar: This is the most crucial aspect of the temple’s history. The great Vaishnava Acharya and philosopher, Sri Vedantha Desikar, resided here and consecrated many of his voluminous works, including the famous Hayagriva Stotra (composed after receiving the Hayagriva deity from the Lord here) and the Paduka Sahasram.
• Lord of the Vedas: The Lord is intrinsically linked to the scriptures. In the standing posture, His hand is notably shown resting on the sacred texts (the Vedas), signifying that He is the ultimate protector and source of all knowledge.
• Divine Trinity: The name Moovar-Aagiya-Oruvan emphasizes the non-duality of the ultimate supreme reality.
• Alwar Connection: This Divya Desam has been glorified in the hymns (Mangalasasanam) of Thirumangai Alwar.
📜 Rituals and Accessibility
• The temple is split into two sections: one at the foot of the hill (housing the Thaayar) and the main shrine atop the Aushadhagiri hill, accessed via steps.
• Worship on the hill is considered highly meritorious due to its connection to the Sanjeevani healing aspect.
