It climbed onto the Siva Linga and opened it hood and dropped the Vilvam Leaf.   This miracle was witnessed by all devotees who were excited.   Then the Cobra went again and again to do the same repeated two or three times.   As the news spread all over the village, hundreds of villagers rushed to the Temple to have the Dharshan of this event of Cobra with Siva. [ Note: Vilvam leaf (Bilva Leaf) is holy and special for Siva Pooja] News in Dinakaran - Dated: January 16, 2010 The Priest explained "It is doing the archana during the Solar Eclipse time to wash off its sins".       Forward to many people as possible please Dinamalar - Miracle on January 15, 2010 -                    Solar Eclipse day[Translation] News in Dinakaran - Dated: January 16, 2010 Kumbakonam: People here got excited seeing a Cobra picking Vilva leaves and doing Archana / pooja for Siva Linga.   There is a famous Temple for Sri Viswanatha at Thepperumanallur near Kumbakonam.   Here, yesterday the priest opened the sanctum doors at about 10:30 AM and went to fetch water.   At that time he noticed a Cobra descending from the Temple Vilva (Bilva) tree carrying a Vilva leaf in its mouth.   It entered the Sanctum of Sivalinga, went around the Vigraha and dropped the leaf on top of the Linga.   Then they saw the same being repeated one more time carrying a Vilva leaf and putting it on the Siva Linga.   The Priest explained "It is doing the archana during the Solar Eclipse time to wash off its sins". The Naga Serpent has been regularly visiting the Siva Idol for the last three SOLAR ECLIPSES.   The priest and some locals had arranged for a photographer a few months back during Sooriya Grahanam.   In fact, they had kept milk offering also for the Naga.. But the snake did not appear on the day.   On this particular  SOLAR ECLISE Grahanam day when the priest opened the Sanctum Sanctorum he saw the snake on the top of the Siva Linga idol.   He immediately called Mr. Thenappan the photographer who lives in Thrunagesvaram a kilo meter from this village.   Meantime a dozen or more people including my house caretaker had assembled to witness this miracle.   In front of their eyes the Naga went back to the "Vilwa tree" plucked the leaves and came back all the way to drop it on the Siva Linga.   All these have been photographed by Mr. Thenappan (photos received directly from the photographer annexed). It may be pertinent to note that many of the residents of this  VILLAGE (Agaraharm) are named Nagarajan or Nagalingam for a few generations .
