About Sri Rajarajeswari Peetam

The Sri Rajarajeswari Peetam is a Temple dedicated to Divine Mother Rajarajeswari. Sri Chaitanyananda (Aiya), the Temple founder and Peetadhipati, has explained that the Temple is a “Sakti Pradhana Sivalayam,” meaning that the divine energies of both Siva and Sakti are present, but the Sakti, or Mother, principle is the foremost aspect of Divinity here. Sri Ganapati and Sri Rajarajeswari reside here in the form of granite murtis, and Lord Siva is present as “Sri Nilakantha Prana Lingeswara,” a beautiful and rare lapis lazuli Siva Lingam. Other Sannidhi deities include Nataraja with Sivakama Sundari, the Navagrahas, Bhairava, Dattatreya, Ardhanariswara, Skanda with Valli and Devayani, Utsava Ganapati and Utsava Devi.
