16. KANKALA MOORTHY 

          Kankaalam gives the meaning skeleton. In ancient period sages and saints in Kailash survived in that most cold places only with the firm strength of bones. It will be a boon for devotees to visit the temple of holy places like Rishikesh, Badrinath and GethariNath. Long time back.Rishi "Thathishi" gave all his bones and skeleton to divine Indhra Deva who made his "Vajrayutham" out of the bones (Divine Indra’s weapon). We have one more theme for reference. Lord Shiva is the authority for destruction also. He is in cremation ground the dead bodies will be burning in fire. The ground will be with bones scattered here and there. To possess a skeleton in hand is nothing unusual to Him.

        In the facet of Kankala Moorthy Lord Shiva has given asylum to his devotee’s skeleton, which is covered with feather of peacock.

        The first right hand and left hand are feeding grass to the pet animal Deer.

        Worshipping the Lord Shiva all devotees will be blessed with good health and powerful structure and appearance.

        This kind of practice will guide every one, who is having the gratitude towards the philosophy. To attain an eternal status after the old age this facet will teach different lessons on meditation every day. The peace seekers, spiritual followers, and those who need knowledge should give great homage to the Lord Shiva.
