It is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is within 3 km of the Central Railway Station, bus station, East Fort and Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple. An older temple of Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu has a name similar to this one at Puthanchantha, Thiruvananthapuram.That temple is known as Pazhaya Sreekanteswaram Temple. Sreekanteswaram Mahadeva Temple is administered by Travancore Devaswom Board. ==Legend== The legend is that an old woman sweeper of Pazhaya Sreekanteswaram temple distinguished the Swyambhoo (self manifested) Shiva Linga idol while she was resting at this place. She got 'Darshan' (vision) of Lord Shiva at the spot at the temple site. Goddess Parvati Devi's (Lord Shiva's consort) is also presence in this temple even though there is no shrine for her. The deity is called Gowri Shankara in this belief. Many devotees attend the Nirmalya Darshan (which is witnessing the deity with the decoration of previous night when the temple reopens at 4 AM) and Mrithyunjaya Homam, which are believed to be benevolent for the devotees. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sreekanteswaram Mahadeva Temple, Thiruvananthapuram」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
