  • Sri Pallikondeswara or Pallikondeeswara Temple, Surutapalli, Tirupati District, Andhra Pradesh

Suruttapalli is a small village in the newly formed Tirupathi District which was formely called as Chittoor District.  It is located close to Uthukkottai bordering Tamil Nadu.  The Temple is located right on the Main Road leading from Uthukkottai to Thirupathi.  The Presiding Deity of this Temple is Sri Pallikondeeswarar who is not in the Shiva Lingam form as He normally is.  In this Temple He is in a Human Form in a Reclining Posture in the lap of the Ambal after having consumed a deadly Aala Kaala Visham.  He is similar to the Pallikonda Ranganthar and hence the name Pallikonda Easwara Swamy.  The Consort of the Presiding Deity is Goddess Parvathi as Marakathambigai.  The Temple is unique since it has 2 Sanctum Sanctorums were the Shiva Lingam is in the first  Sanctum Sanctorum and the reclining Pallikonda Easwarar is found in the next Sanctum Sanctorum  adjacent  to it.  There is a huge Nandhi Statue kept on a stone pedestal and fenced neatly and this faces the Sanctum Sanctorum of the Temple.  The Temple is unique in many ways God Dhakshinamoorthy is found here along with His Consort. On Pradhoham Days the Nandhi Idol kept outside and the Shiva Lingam in the Sanctum Sanctorum are prayed simultaneously. Like any other Vaishnavite Temples the Sanctum Sanctorum from were Pallikonda Eswarar reclines and Blesses offer Theertham and Shadaari to the Devotees.  There are Sub Shrines for Ganesan, Karthikeyan, Sooriyan, Chandran, Indran and other Sages.  Goddess Marakathambigai occupies a separate Sannadhi.  The Temple does have a Navagraha enclosure.  There are rows of Shops selling Pooja and Divine articles.
