Athi Varadhar
Athi Varadhar is a revered form of Lord Vishnu, enshrined in the sacred city of Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu. What makes Athi Varadhar unique is the fact that this idol, carved out of the sacred fig tree wood (Athi), is kept submerged in the temple’s temple tank, Anantha Sarovaram, and is brought out for public worship only once every forty years.
This extraordinary ritual draws countless devotees from across the globe, eager to catch a glimpse of the deity and seek blessings.
When Athi Varadhar is brought out, the grand occasion lasts for 48 days, during which the idol is placed alternatively in reclining and standing postures for worship. The event is marked by an outpouring of devotion, with elaborate rituals, processions, and prayers creating a spiritually charged atmosphere throughout Kanchipuram. The sight of Athi Varadhar is considered profoundly auspicious, with devotees cherishing the rare opportunity to be part of this extraordinary spiritual tradition.
