Jambukeswara
deity earth Hindu single tradition · 1
Jambukeswara is a form of Shiva enshrined at Jambukeswarar Temple, positioned as a Guru (teacher) to Akhilandeswari. The temple is known as an Upadesa Sthalam where the deity serves in a teaching role rather than as a consort, and therefore no marriage ceremony (Thirukalyanam) is conducted between Jambukeswara and Akhilandeswari.
