Bhairava Moorthi Temple
Tiruchengode

Presiding Deity:
Bhairava

The Bhairava Moorthi Temple is a sacred site in Morepalayam, dedicated to Bhairava, a fierce manifestation of Lord Shiva. Located in the Tiruchengodu Taluk of the Namakkal District, Tamil Nadu, the temple is a local center for spiritual worship and seeking divine remedies. 

Legend and significance

Bhairava's legend originates from a dispute between the gods Brahma and Vishnu. When Brahma boasted of his own supremacy and slighted Shiva, an enraged Shiva created Bhairava, who proceeded to sever one of Brahma's five heads. For this act, Bhairava was forced to roam the earth as a mendicant, carrying Brahma's skull, until he was absolved of the sin of Brahmahatya in the sacred city of Varanasi. 

This temple honors Bhairava as a formidable deity who destroys ego and protects devotees from negative influences. He is also considered the guardian of travelers, particularly those traveling at night. As a Grama Devata (village deity), Bhairava protects the village and its residents from danger. 

Remedies and worship

Devotees worship at the Bhairava Moorthi Temple to receive blessings and seek remedies for various problems, with specific rituals performed for certain afflictions. 

For protection and success: Worshipping Bhairava is believed to overcome enemies, grant success, and provide material comforts. Offerings often include coconuts, flowers, and mustard oil.

For progeny: Performing a sahasranama archana (chanting a thousand names) with red oleander flowers for six consecutive Ashtami tithis (the eighth day of the lunar fortnight) is believed to grant progeny.

For health: Worshipping Bhairava with an offering of sweet poonthi is said to help control diabetes.

For business prosperity: Performing an abhishekam (ritual bath) with honey, lighting a ghee lamp, and offering vada made from black gram is believed to improve business.

For longevity and overcoming fear: Offering plain rice and cow's milk with an archana using nayurivi leaves on a Saturday is a remedy to overcome the fear of death.

For planet-related problems: Worship is also recommended for those with malefic planets in their birth charts, especially related to the influence of Rahu, as Bhairava is associated with correcting these planetary effects.
