The priest opened the sanctum doors
at about 10:30 AM and went to fetch water.
At that time he noticed a Cobra descending from the
Temple Vilva (Bilva) tree carrying a Vilva leaf in its mouth.
It entered the Sanctum of Sivalinga, went around the
Vigraha and dropped the leaf on top of the Linga.
Then they saw the same being repeated one more time
carrying a Vilva leaf and putting it on the Siva Linga.
The Priest explained “It is doing the archana during
the Solar Eclipse time to wash off its sins”.
The Naga Serpent has been regularly visiting the Siva
Idol for the last three SOLAR ECLIPSES.
The priest and some locals had arranged for a
photographer a few months back during Sooriya Grahanam.
In fact, they had kept milk offering also for the Naga.
But the snake did not appear on the day.
On this particular SOLAR ECLISE Grahanam day
when the priest opened the Sanctum Sanctorum he saw
the snake on the top of the Siva Linga idol.
He immediately called Mr. Thenappan the photographer
who lives in Thrunagesvaram a kilo meter from this village.
Meantime a dozen or more people including my house
caretaker had assembled to witness this miracle.
In front of their eyes the Naga went back to the
“Vilwa tree” plucked the leaves and came back all the way
to drop it on the Siva Linga.
All these have been photographed by Mr. Thenappan
(photos received directly from the photographer annexed).
It may be pertinent to note that many of the residents
of this VILLAGE (Agaraharm) are named Nagarajan
or Nagalingam for a few generations .
