Swamy Ayyappan

Sri Dharma Shastha is well known as Harihara Suthan – the son of Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu (in His avatar as Mohini). Lord Ayyappan is the protector of Dharma and Righteousness and is the destroyer of evil. His right-hand shows the Gnana Mudra which represents knowledge and his Left-hand shows the Vara Mudra which represents the granting of boons.

He is the guardian of Dharma in this world. Chennai Om Sri Skandasramam has a huge 7-foot image of Lord Ayyappa the giver of infinite boons, in a sitting posture and made up of five kinds of metal called the panchaloka. He is positioned in the East facing the Astadasabhuja Durga. The structure of the gopuram is like the Kerala type of model. To his right is installed the Kanni Moola Ganapathy.
