The lamp burnsвЂ¦ not to be the light itself, but merely as a message: to remind all who are present of peace, and of positive brightness. By lighting a lamp, the lamp becomes a form of fire or вЂњTejвЂќ in Sanskrit. This was not planned, but it happens that way.Light and brightness represent the positive, the good, and the good spirits. On the 27th of March every year at sunrise, the rays of the sun fall directly, on the Devi's forehead and travel down to her feet. The worship is conducted in the Saivagama tradition, elaborately and meticulously, by competent and well trained priests.

In the sanctum sanctorum (garbha griha) can be seen the splendid stone image (six feet in height) of the Divine Mother Sri Jnanakshi Rajarajeshwari, seated on a throne with her right leg folded and placed across the seat, while her left leg is bent at the knee and stretched below to rest on a lotus in full bloom. It is complete with an elevated sanctum (garbha griha), a porch (antarala), an open pillared hall (Mukha Mantapa), a wide circumambulatory path (Pradikshina patha) and an inner courtyard. With its finely carved pillars (Sthambha) and beautifully dressed walls (Bhitti) it presents a charming spectacle. It is an excellent specimen of Dravidian religious architecture, and is built strictly in accordance with the agama prescriptions. Verily a masterpiece among the recent monuments in the whole of Karnataka. The Temple of Sri Jnanakshi Rajarajeshwari is a magnificent edifice in pure granite. However, the main attraction is the six-feet tall, inspiring stone image of Divine Mother Sri Raja Rajeshwari, also worshipped as Mother Sri Jnanakshi. The eye-catching temple, built in the Dravidian style of architecture, has five Rajagopuras. Swamiji also built a Sri Chakra temple where MAHA MERU is installed in its all glory. Later, His Holiness Sri Tiruchi Mahaswamigal built a temple dedicated to Goddess Sri Rajarajeshwari, as there are Puranic legends about the place. The Foundation stone was laid there by Sri Tiruchi Mahaswamigal, between on 3rd April 1960. He proceeded and spotted a tiny cottage amidst a grove of guava trees, the spot the eagles kept on encircling. Swamiji got down from the car, and saw a footpath leading to a tiny village Kenchenahalli. He saw in them the images of Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswathi who had appeared before him on Mount Kailas. Just at about six miles South West of Bangalore City, he saw above him in the sky, three garudas (sacred eagles) circling. He came down to Bangalore via Bombay.Д®arly in the morning on, the auspicious Sankranthi day, Sri Tiruchi Swamiji was proceeding to Mysore by a car for a Pada Pooja, along with two of his disciples. There, during intense meditation, he had a vision of the triple divinities of Durga, Lakshmi, Saraswathi and a bodiless voice (Asarira vani) asked him to go to Karnataka. Before coming down South, Tiruchi Mahaswamiji went to Mount Kailas. The Guru, after initiating him, asked him to go south, where, he said there was much good work to be done. His Guru was Sri Sivapuri baba who lived in Kathmandu. Sri Kailash Ashrama Mahasamsthana in Kenchenahalli (now called Sri Rajarajeshwarinagar) was founded by His Holiness Sri Sivaratnapuri Swamiji (popularly known as Sri Tiruchi Swamigal).
