Shiva is honoured here as a linga of earth, and the temple follows its own prescribed method for the abhishekam. By tradition, the name Ekambara comes from the temple's mango tree, beneath which Devi Kamakshi worshipped Shiva. The Kamakshi Amman and Varadaraja Perumal temples stand in the same town. Many devotees value a Moolavar Abhishekam here because it is offered to the earth linga itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat this booking covers\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoolavar Abhishekam at Ekambaranathar Temple, Kanchipuram, booked in your name\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSankalp with your name and gotra, and birth star if you share it, for up to four names\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemple receipt or confirmation on WhatsApp after the puja\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAdd-ons for this booking\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArchana\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlower offering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose any of these when you book, or ask our team on WhatsApp. Each add-on is offered in your name, on dates confirmed with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePlease note\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe date, the number of names and whether the seva can be done without you are confirmed with you on WhatsApp before your booking is processed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo private video of the ritual is promised; photos are shared only where the temple allows them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrasad is not sent to your address.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMore Shiv pujas\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/ta\/products\/rudrabhishekam-ramanathaswamy-temple-rameswaram\"\u003eRudrabhishekam — Ramanathaswamy Temple, Rameswaram\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/ta\/products\/swami-amman-abhishekam-arunachaleswarar-temple-tiruvannamalai\"\u003eSwami-Amman Abhishekam — Arunachaleswarar Temple, Tiruvannamalai\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/ta\/products\/jambukeswarar-archana-jambukeswarar-akilandeswari-temple-thiruvanaikaval\"\u003eJambukeswarar Archana — Jambukeswarar Akilandeswari Temple, Thiruvanaikaval\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBefore booking\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShare the name(s) and gotra when you book.
