Achankovil (Contributed by sankarrenganathan@sparinc.com)

In the temple at Achankovil, Lord Dharma Shasta is worshipped in the aspect of Manikanda Shastha with His two Divine Consorts, Poorna and Pushkala. Here the Lord is depicted in the aspect of a householder. The names of the consorts indicate they have symbolic meaning. Two priests offer the Poojas. According to tradition the great sage Parasurama installed the idol in the temple at the time when he installed the five Shastas and a Bagavathi to protect the Western Ghats and the related regions.

The holy Eighteen steps are not as steep as in Sabarimalai, and are guarded by Lord Ganesha and Lord Muruga, instead of Periya Kadutha Swamy and Chinna Karuppu Swamy. The well in temple is supposed to carry an herbal plant underneath called Neela Koduveli, which is an antidote to poisons. The abhisheka thirtham, the sacred water with medicinal properties, and the sandalwood prasadam are giving relief in physical ailments and spiritual solace to thousands. Therefore the Lord is also considered as Danvantharamoorthy, the Divine Physician. Outside the western gate, on a mount, there is a temple of Goddess Bhagavathi.

Extensive poojas are performed in the temple on Fridays. There are also shrines of Lord Krishna, Goddess Bagavathi and Kannimula Maha Ganapathy. There is a Swayambhu Nagaraja, the self-formed Serpent Deity, which is vibrant with immense mystic power. The Kodimaram, the temple flag-staff with Ashtadikpalakargal, the Guardian Deities of the eight quarters, on it is in the final stages of having a gold covering. The temple is getting ready for renovation during the Uttaraayana. Facing the shrine of Lord Shasta there is the temple, Karuppuswamy Kovil.

The shrine is located amidst the dense forests of the Western Ghats in between Senkottai (28 Kms from the temple) and Ranni (40 Kms from the temple). The place is about 12 kms away from Sabarimala by a forest route - a very difficult route indeed. People in Achankovil speak both Tamil and Malayalam.

The shrine is open between 0500 Hrs to 1230 Hrs IST and 1700 Hrs to 2030 Hrs IST. Buses ply frequently to Achankovil from Punalur, Pattinamitta and Senkottai.
