Dy CM Pawan visits Swaminatha temple

Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan, as part of his ongoing spiritual journey, visited the temple of Lord Swaminatha Swamy in Swamimalai near Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu, on Thursday. The sacred Swamimalai temple, the fifth in the Shashta Shanmukha pilgrimage circuit, is renowned for its deep spiritual significance. It is also believed to be the place where the primordial sound ‘Om’ and the secret mantra of creation, ‘Aadi Pranava Nada Omkara,’ originated.
During his visit, Pawan Kalyan performed a special puja at the temple. Temple priest Kannan Gurukal traditionally conducted the rituals, offering Panchaharatam (five sacred offerings) and aarti. Pawan Kalyan also circumambulated the temple and paid his respects at the temple’s flagstaff. Furthermore, he participated in the sacred Kandha Sashti Kavacham Parayanam, a spiritual recitation highly revered by devotees of Lord Swaminatha Swamy.
Accompanying Pawan Kalyan were his son, Akira Nandan, and TTD Board Member Anand Sai, who were present to witness the divine blessings at the temple.
After offering prayers at Lord Swaminatha Swamy’s shrine, the DCM also visited and performed special puja at the shrines of Sri Sundareswaran Swamy and Meenakshi Amman, the principal deities worshipped at the temple.
