This article gives details of Oothukkadu Sri Krishna temple. Worshiping
here gives relief to Sarpa dosha or Rahu dosha.
Oothukkadu is a small village near to the town Aavoor near to the famous
temple city of Kumbakonam in Tamil Nadu. This village is an ancient holy place
due to the presence of a very old Vishnu temple. The deity, Lord Vishnu of this
temple is installed here as Lord Veda Narayana Perumal with his consorts
Sreedevi and Bhoodevi. There is one more idol made of Pancha Loha (5 metals).
The idol is of Lord Krishna dancing on the hoods of Kaliya the poisonous snake
which was troubling people around Kaalindi river. The deity is popularly known as Sri Kaalinga Narthana Krishnar. This idol of Lord Krishna is
of about two half feet. The idol will appear as the Lord dancing on the hoods of
the Kaliya with his left hand holding the tail of Kaliya, the snake and the
right hand in abhaya (granting of boon - aaseervad) position.
The specialty of the Oothukkadu Sri Krishna idol is that though the feet of the Lord
appears to touch the head of the snake, it does not touch actually. There is a
thin gap between the feet and the head and a thin paper can be passed through
the gap. This is to mean that the entire weight of the idol of the Lord is
balanced on the right hand of the lord and the tail of the snake.
This temple is believed to give relief against the Sarpa dosha and Rahu
dosha.
