About 22 Feet Anjaneyar idol, Thanumalayan Temple Suchindram Kanyakumari Dist. TN in Anjaneya Hanuman . Tamil Nadu, India, Suchindram
As per legends, once Devraj Indra (King of Swarg) was infatuated with Ahalya, the wife of Rishi Gautam. One night he came to the hermitage where Gautam was living and crowed like a cock indicating the approach of dawn. Rishi Gautam thinking that dawn was imminent awoke from his sleep and went to the river for his ablutions prior to commencing his prayers.Realising that it was too dark for dawn and too early for morning to break he returned to his hut. In the meantime Swargraj Indra took the physical appearance of Rishi Gautam, approached Ahalya and satisfied his desire. Rishi Gautam returning from the river was enraged when he saw his wife in another man“s embrace and cursed the man's entire body be covered with 'yoni' (the female organ) and his wife Ahalya to become a statue of stone.
Devraj Indra in order to get rid of this curse went to Gnanaranya (earlier Suchindram was known as Gnanaranya) and prayed to the Three Moorthys to rid him of this curse. When he was rid of his curse and transformed into his original form he built a temple and installed the Lingam to represent the Trimurti - Thanu-Maal-Ayan (hence temple name Thanumalayan) and the name of the place came to be known as Suchi-Indran (Suchindram), the place where Indra was purified.
