A 1000 year old Shivalingam has been unearthed in Tamil Nadu. Hindus of the locality were elated as the murti revealed itself on Deepavali day. Shiva bhaktas thronged the place as the news spread like wildfire and pujas were performed to the ancient Lingam.
A Shiva Lingam was dug out from an agricultural land located near the confluence of the Kudakanaru and Amaravathy rivers. Media reports say that there was a Shiva temple in the land centuries ago and it went under the earth due to natural disasters. The message that there was a temple in the ancestral land was passed down through generations and the family kept performing pujas despite not knowing where the temple existed.
Netizens who shared the news claimed that Kandasamy, the farmer who owns the agricultural land received a divine intervention in the form of a dream. He reportedly dreamt about a Shiva Lingam being buried under the earth in his ancestral land. After Kandasamy had the dream he discussed it with Sivanadiyars in the neighborhood and with their help dug up the land. The five feet tall Shiva Linga with its base was found along with the murti of Nandi Bhagwan.
As this happened on the day of Deepavali, Hindus were elated and thronged the place to offer worship and do pujas to the Lingam and Nandi. Revenue and Archeology officers were informed as per procedure and the murtis were taken away for evaluation and research. Hopefully, they are returned soon and get worshipped as per devotees’ wishes.
Yet another false info. The land owner doesn’t had any dreams, please stop spreading these kinda news. He is my neighbor and my agri land is just beside to this shiva lingam. My parents and grand grand parents know that shiva lingam is there for centuries. But no one knows about the story about it. Me and my father during our childhood used to play on the Nandhi. Shiva devotees got to know about this shiva lingam and insisted the land owner to unearth it. The land owner(with fear) accepted and allowed to unearth the shiva lingam. The reason that this shiva temple got damaged is due to Flood as it’s located on the banks of Kudakanar and Amaravathi river.
