70. VISHNU DHARMOTTHARA RUDHRA MOORTHY

           This idol is with sixteen hands. Lord Shiva looks like a forest man with beard and a big belly. His accouterments of arms in all hands resemble as if the Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva are in a combined manner.

           In the right side hands we can see Trishoolam, garland of Rudhraksha, sword, axe, arrow, curved stick, ‘  Sudharsana’ (the destroying wheel) and a  musical drum with snake.

           His left side hands, we can observe a vessel with the blood of enemies, palm leaves (sacred manthras)  herald, stick, bow,’Paanchajanya’ (a conch) and a rope.

           On several occasions, the diabolic and the wicked attacks are in an invisible way, the Demons imposed upon Lord Shiva but no one could win Him. Such the solemnity with excessive power the Almighty guards the human beings and the lives on earth. The power of Trishoolam and sudharsana will have the strong target of destruction of forceful evils.

           Those who are worried with evil sprits, Jaadu, seivinai, Black magic and evil thrusty  (bad look of others) will have the timely cure and blessings of Lord Shiva with whom the devotees should have a firm devotion and faith.
