Dhenupureeswarar Temple (Madambakkam)
Dhenupureeswarar Temple (also "Dhenupurisvara" and "Thiripureeswarar"), is located in Madambakkam near Tambaram, Chennai. Dhenupureeswarar is the local name for the Hindu deity Shiva.
==Religious significance==
Dhenupureeswarar got his name because he gave moksha to a cow ((サンスクリット:Dhenu)). Sage Kapila is said to have been reborn as a cow for his sin of having improperly worshiped a Shiva lingam using his left hand. The cow continued to worship Shiva by pouring milk on a Shiva lingam buried in the ground. The cowherd initially punished the cow for wasting the milk, but when the villagers unearthed the Shiva lingam, Shiva appeared and granted moksha (liberation) to Kapila and forgave the cowherd who had mistreated him. Legend has it that the king had a dream of this occurrence at this site and had the temple built to commemorate it.〔
Dhenupureeswarar's consort here is Dhenukambal. The main building of the temple, which contains the statue of Dhenupureeswara in linga form, faces east and his consort faces south in a separate sanctum.〔 The Shiva lingam is Swayambhu Lingam or Self Manifested Lingam.
