The Raja Kuberar Temple in Kanchipuram, also known as the Om Sri Raja Kuberar Siddhar Peedam, was established by Thavathiru Sivasri Deva Raja Kubera Swamigal after a Siddhar blessed him during a Girivalam, instructing him to build a temple for Lord Kuberar. The temple, dedicated to Kubera, the God of Wealth, features a unique ritual where devotees offer a coconut and jaggery, which they then take home to symbolize bringing prosperity.

Etymology and Significance

The mantra "Om Yakshaya Kuberaya Vaishravanaya Dhanadhanyadhipataye Dhanadhanyasamriddhim Me Dehi Dapaya Svaha" is spiritually significant in the worship of Lord Kuberar. The temple's unique deity form, "Sivasaga", combines "Siva" (representing Lord Shiva) and "Saga" (symbolizing the boundless prosperity of Lord Kuberar), reflecting divine grace and abundance.

Sthala Purana

The origin of the temple is linked to Thavathiru Sivasri Deva Raja Kubera Siddhar Swamigal, a devotee of Lord Shiva who performed regular Girivalam around Arunachala on every full moon night. During one such occasion, a Siddhar appeared to him at the Kuberalingam temple and revealed a divine vision: Swamigal was destined to establish a temple where Lord Kubera would be worshipped as "Om Sri Raja Kuberar".

Following divine instructions received through dreams, Swamigal began his spiritual mission from a small apartment in Ashok Nagar, Chennai. Eventually, he was guided in a dream by Lord Balaji to establish the temple at a site now known as Kuberapattinam. The temple was consecrated in 2019.

Raja Kuberar

Location

The temple is situated in Vellagate, Kanchipuram, along the Bangalore–Chennai Highway. The area has since become known as Kuberapattinam, symbolizing its association with wealth and spiritual awakening.

Architecture and Features

The temple houses both Lord Shiva and Lord Kuberar in a vertically aligned sanctum:

Lord Shiva is enshrined as Vaidhyanatha Swami in a meditative pose (Dhyana Nilai), standing 11 feet tall.
Directly below Him sits Lord Kuberar, 6 feet tall, in a rare seated posture, gazing toward Lord Balaji of Tirupati.

This alignment symbolizes harmony between health (Arokiyam) and prosperity (Aishwaryam).

Cultural and Spiritual Significance

The temple is considered a powerful spiritual center for seekers of health, wealth, and spiritual upliftment. It blends Siddha tradition, divine alignment, and devotional practice in a single sacred space.
