Arulmigu Jaya Anjaneya Swami Temple

Arulmigu Jaya Anjaneya Swami Temple is located at Lalapet in Karur district -Tamilnadu.The Swayambu Temple is believed to be more than 300 years old.

The temple of Lord Anjaneya at Lalapet has an interesting backdrop. There was temple of Sri Varadharaja Perumal in this village. It was visited by devotees from far and near. However people decided to relocate the temple to another village called as Kallawpallee. The temple of Lord Varadharaja Perumal was first shifted. Then while extracting the Dhwajasthambha, they could not move an inch of it. They then tried to dig. It was when a red colored liquid oozed up from the ground; they decided to stop moving the Dhwajasthambha from its original place.

Then a pious elderly village head saw the vision of Hanuman asking him to remove the idol of Hanuman underneath the Dhwajasthambha and build a temple.

The statue is facing south and goes by the name, ‘Sri Jaya Anjaneya’. In the later days, a sannathi was constructed for Sri Anjaneya Swami.

Miracle Stone

The miracle stone in this temple reiterates the fact that the Lord is present to bless his devotees. The stone is flat and oval and is believed to have been dropped by Sri Anjaneya while carrying the ‘marunthu malai’ to Sri Lanka.

Devotees bathe early in the morning with water drawn from the temple well. Wearing the damp clothes after bath, the devotee has to climb up on the miracle stone. He has to pray to Lord Sri Anjaneya Swami and request the Lord to fulfill his wish, keeping both hands on either side of the stone. Now wait for the miracle! The stone starts rotating! If it rotates towards the right, your wish will be fulfilled. In case your desire is unjustified, the stone will not move at all.

When the stone rotates, you also have to rotate with it but without taking out your hand from the ground. Days such as Thursday, Saturday, Sunday morning and Ekadashi are auspicious days to pray on this miracle stone.
