Aathi Vinayagar

I received a quiet unusual mail today and I thought of just sharing it in my blog. Hopefully, you too find it interesting and worth sharing.


Aathi Vinayagar temple is the only temple in the world where Vinayagar is seen with a human face. The rest of him will be with Elephant face. The temple is located at Poomthotam, about 4 hours drive south east of Thirchy towards Poompuhar. Vinayagar is seen with a human face, for he was such before he was slayed and his head replaced with a elephant head.


ps: I will try to Google search about this tonight. ;)
