In Thirubuvanam near Kumbakonam there is temple in which Sarabeswarar has a huge sannadhi I was there recently This God is in the form of winged lion more powerful than lion & elephant. I gathered that this is a form of Shiva (Avatar) taken to neutralize Narsimha after the later killed Hiranyakasyabu. Does Shiva take avatar? I was under the impression only Vishu takes Avatar. Correct? Jambu

Respected Dr Jambunathan

I had also recently in the month of April been to Tribhuvanm - Sarbeswarar Temple . Just to share what I gathered from the locals in the temple , here lord shiva has taken a Avatahram just to pacify Lord Nrusimhar i.e to reduce his anger and not Neutralize Nrusimhar .

As regards Avatharam of Lord Shiva well I am not too sure of the same , but we do worship him in the form of Lord Nataraja and more so in the form of Guru Bhagavan i.e Shri Dakshinamoorthy who is worshipped in all shiva Sthalams and is the preciding diety at Aalangudi ( Guru Kshetram amongst Navagraha Temples)

Thanks & Regards
