Chakrapani Temple, Kumbakonam
Chakrapani Temple is a Hindu temple dedicated to Vishnu located in Kumbakonam, Tamil Nadu, India. This temple is located 2 km, away towards North West from the Kumbakonam Railway Station. In the temple, Vishnu appears in the form of a discus or ''Chakra'' to put down the pride of ''Surya''(the Sun), who subsequently became his devotee.〔Ayyar 1991, p. 325〕 Like Shiva, Lord Chakrapani has a third eye on His forehead. The temple is one of the most prominent temples in Kumbakonam.〔South Indian Railway Company 1926, p. 57〕
==Legend==
As per Hindu legend, ''Chakra'' (also called Sudarshana), the discus, is the most powerful weapon of god Vishnu. He once sent his weapon to nether world to kill king Jalandasura. The weapon is believed to have come out of the nether world through river Kaveri. God Brahma, who was taking bath in the river, got imprsesd and installed the image of Sudarshana in the place where the temple is now located. Surya, the Sun god, who was glowing in brilliance, had his brightness diminished by the effulgent Sudarshana. Surya worshipped Sudarshana and pleased by his devotion, Sudarshana restored all the powers of Surya.〔Madhavan 2007, pp. 98-100〕 Vishnu attained the name Chakrapani from then on.
