    Chakrapani Swamy Maham Festival
     
    The Sacred Sri Chakra was
    aimed at Jalandarasura by this swami and after killing him it emanated from the
    earth and settled on the banks of the Sacred Cauvery. Lord Brahma established
    this in this new place and began to workship it. As its brightness was thousand
    times better then the Sun. So he became jealous of the vishnu Chakra and
    increased his brightness more than that of the Sri Chakra to suppress his
    pride, the chakra drew its brightness to its self and taught him a lesson. Then
    the sun realized his folly and surrendered to its holy feet. On this holy
    placeSri Chakrapani Swamy came out of shri Chakra and gave Dharsan to the sun.
    Having been blessed by Sri Chakrapani Swami, the sun built a temple for this
    Lord and requested Him to give him a boon that this holy city of Kumbakonam
    should be named after him as the"BASKARA KSHETHRA". It was
    granted. The Baskara Kshetra became a renowned Pranthana Stala offering
    benefits to so many who worship Sri Chakrapani Swami.
