This snap was clicked in Suchindram which is 14 Kms from Kanyakumari. The top, middle and bottom of the linga represent the tri-murthis shiva, vishnu and brahma respectively. According to history Indra was purified at this place and hence Suchindram, Suchi means purity.
The temple has exquisite workmenship in stone making it a treasure house of sculptures. The musical pillars, sculpture of Vigneshwari, the female form of Vinayaka and the scene of Geethopadesha are rarely to be found elsewhere. Carved exqusitely out of a single block of granite, the imposing figure of Anjaneya (Hanuman), 18 feet height, is a product of marvellous sculptural skill.
