Large numbers of devotees witnessed a miracle of a Cobra doing Archana for Siva Lingam with Vilvam leaves.  This happened at a Shiva Temple, Thepperumanallur in the Thanjavoor district of Tamil Nadu.

Here Vedhanthanayagi [Sakthi] with Viswanathaswamy [Siva] are the main Deities.  In this Temple, it has been customary to do archana with Rudhraksha only.  On January 15th 2010, just before Solar Eclipse, at about 10:30 AM Sivachariar Satish, priest of the Temple, noticed a Cobra lying on top of the Siva Linga.

The snake slowly descended from there and went towards the Vilvam tree which is the Sthala Viruksham- Holy tree of the temple. It climbed the tree and picked a Vilvam leaf and came back and entered the Sannidhi. It hissed at any devotee trying to get near it. It climbed onto the Siva Linga and opened it hood and dropped the Vilvam Leaf.

This miracle was witnessed by all devotees who were present at that time in the temple.  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]

The Priest explained “It is doing the archana during the Solar Eclipse time to wash off its sins”.
