Similar Record Auction Last Year In Villupuram

This isn’t the first time temple offerings have fetched eye-catching sums. Last year, nine lemons from a temple in Villupuram district were auctioned for ₹2.36 lakh. Devotees believe consuming these lemons, spiked on the deity’s sacred spear, can cure infertility and bring family prosperity.

Such events highlight the unshakeable faith of devotees in divine miracles, showing how spirituality continues to hold a powerful presence in modern Tamil Nadu.

The Sacred Coconut And Its Divine Significance

During the celestial wedding ceremony, the coconut is used as part of the main ritual, symbolising purity and divine union. Devotees believe that owning or receiving this sacred coconut brings immense good fortune and divine grace. The high auction bid reflects not just religious enthusiasm but also deep-rooted belief in Lord Murugan’s blessings.

Located in Tamil Nadu, the Balasubramanian Temple draws thousands of devotees each year, especially during this auspicious celebration. The temple is revered for its ancient architecture and powerful rituals associated with the deity.
