Kallidaikurichi Adhi Varaha Perumal Temple
The temple of Aadi Varaha is a very powerful temple situated in the heart of the village of Kallidaikurichi. There are two prakaras in the temple. The structure belongs to the 15th century CE. In the east facing Sanctorum, there is an idol of Varaha sitting on his left lap holding Lakshmi.
Kubera is the God of Wealth. He descended to earth to get rid of a curse he got. After worshipping Shiva in various temples, he wanted to devote himself to Lord Vishnu. So, he made an idol of Lord Vishnu and installed it on the bank of River Tambirabharani and worshiped it. Over time, the place vanished. The Lord appeared in a devotee’s dream and revealed His presence in the area. The devotee discovered the idols. Later, the temple was constructed. Lord Adhi Varaha sits in a sitting posture on a lotus-shaped stage – Padma Peeta – with Mother Bhooma devi on His lap and looks at Him. Since the Lord is always with Mother, he is praised as Nitya Kaliana Perumal – Perumal always in wedding style. This is why the place is called Kalyani Puri.
