Lord Shiva is worshipped as Sri Uma Vaasuki Ravi Someswara Swamy, a divine trinity of Uma, Vaasuki, and Surya. The self-manifested Shivalinga radiates energy, removes doshas, and blesses devotees through rituals like Rudrabhishekam and Pradosha Pooja.
According to legend, Surya Deva worshipped Lord Shiva here to regain his lost radiance. Rooted in ancient scriptures and traditions, Juttiga Shivalayam continues Vedic rituals and festivals that preserve its timeless spiritual heritage.
According to ancient legend, Surya Deva (the Sun God) once lost his brilliance due to a celestial curse. Seeking redemption, he worshipped Lord Shiva at this very site, along with Goddess Parvati (Uma) and Serpent King Vaasuki. Pleased by their devotion, Lord Shiva manifested here as Sri Uma Vaasuki Ravi Someswara Swamy, uniting the powers of the Sun, Serpent, and Shakti. The Shivalinga emerged naturally (Swayambhu), radiating immense divine energy that continues to bless devotees with healing, peace, and liberation from doshas.

The moment I entered Juttiga Shivalayam, I felt an unexplainable calmness. The energy around the Shivalinga is divine — it feels like Lord Shiva himself is blessing you.
Beyond devotion, the ancient carvings and architecture reflect the temple’s deep cultural roots. Every stone here tells a story of faith and time.
