India through my eyes – Guardian Gods
While driving in and around my village Kallidaikurichi in down South Tirunelveli, I chanced upon a temple in Ambasamudram where these Guardian Gods were housed. I learnt from family and some friends on Facebook that the deity was referred to as Vandimaricha Amman. It is near the Agasthiyar Temple
Ayyanars are also referred to as Guardian Gods and here is a post on them.
Thanks Lakshmi for a view from beautiful south. I really love travel and exploring new places. If you allow I want to share something for all backpackers.

Never seen a guardian deity on a slanting position! Nice capture and detail on the deity.
That is a nice information..

Whoa!
A guardian must have such giagntic figure to have control over others 🙂 Jokes apart thanks for sharing the photo. I have never seen such a huge figure of any deity. Looking forward to more such offbeat photos.

Abhijit
Thanks so much..and the deities are lying down, which is unusual I thought
