Mahalingeswarar Temple, Thiruvidaimarudur – Prayers

Mahalingeswarar Temple, Thiruvidaimarudur – Prayers
By worshipping the Prime Deity, Lord Mahalinga Swamy, one’s sorrow and unhappiness are alleviated.  Those who wish for good marriage can perform prayers here. Moreover, one can pray for job attainment, enhancement in business and promotion in the job. The Lord definitely grants their wishes. Abhishekam can be performed to the Lord with ingredients like milk, curd, panchamirtha, rice flour, honey, rosewater, soft coconut water, sandal paste, Vibhuthi, rice powder and tamarind powder.
Devotees in large numbers come and worship the Mookambigai shrine, since it is considered to be powerful.  The married couples worship intensely that they should conceive without any problems and beget babies.  Likewise, women pray for safe delivery.  This kind of worship significantly prevails in this shrine.
Devotees who circle methodically the big prakaram and then worship the Prime Deity are surely relieved of mental aberration, psychic depression, madness and sickness. That they enjoy great relief and happiness could be seen even today.  Devotees offer new dhoti for Lord, Mother with new sari and offer food to the devotees who come to the temple.
Also, they offer Naivedyam to the Lord and distribute it to the devotees. Those who can afford can donate to the temple renovation. Those with Anusha star can be relieved of their afflictions in this place. This is a Parihara sthalam for Brahmmahathi dosham.
