Chakrapani temple
by Lalitha Venkat

The images of Chakrapani with 8 arms and Sudarshanavalli Thayar with a gracious visage are inspiring.
Brahma, Surya and Agni are depicted as worshipping the Lord.

According to legend, Surya once competed with Vishnu to decide who was brighter. Vishnu appeared in the form of a Chakra and put down the pride of Surya.

Like Shiva, Lord Chakrapani has a third eye on His forehead.
