Sri Muktheeswarar Temple Vaayu Sthalam
Sri Muktheeswarar Temple, also known as Vaayu Sthalam, is a revered Shiva temple located in Theppakulam, Madurai, Tamil Nadu. It represents the Vayu (Air) element among the Panchabhuta Sthalams in Madurai. The temple is known for its Dravidian architecture, intricate carvings, and spiritual significance.
One of the temple’s unique features is that the sun rays fall directly on the presiding deity, Muktheeswarar, during specific periods in March and September, remaining for about 20 minutes each day. The temple also has beautifully sculpted pillars depicting Lord Shiva’s Thiruvilayadals (divine plays) and an idol of Ekabadramurthy, combining the forms of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva.
The temple hosts several festivals, including Navaratri, Adipooram, Thiruvadhirai, and Pradosham, attracting devotees seeking blessings for marital harmony, wisdom, and spiritual liberation. It is believed that direct prayers to Lord Muktheeswarar can relieve devotees from the adverse effects of planetary positions, as there is no separate shrine for the Navagrahas (nine planets).
