Meenakshi hunter statues

Meenakshi hunter statues




A small mandapam joins the Ashtasakthi Mandapam and the Meenakshi Naicker Mandapam .There is a verandha on each side of this mandapam.On the southern verandha there is a statue of Goddess Parvathi eight feet in height.She is in a dancing pose with a soolayudham'(a kind of weapon)in one of Her hands.A five hooded serpent shelters.Her head from the sun's heat and rains.Some conider this statue to be that of a huntress.

On the northern verandha there is a statue of a hunter.This tatue iss alo eight feet high.The hunter has a majestic look.

A reason is attributed for keeping these two statues near the entrance of the temple.The legend say that Lord Sundara and Sree Meenakshi appeared in the form of a hunter and huntress and blessed a villain who repented of his crimes and sought relieve at the feet of the lord .It is believed that these statues would relieve the sufferings of those who repented of their sins and come to the temple with faith and devotion.
