Dwajasthambam 11"feet Brass (Kodimaram)

In all the temples we have a pillar in front of the Garbhagraham or Moolasthanam which is  known as Dwajasthambam or Kodimaram.

In Sanskrit, the word Dwaja means ‘Flag’ that raises high. In the religious sense, whatever raises a man to a higher level of understanding and activity is a ‘Dwaja.’ The Dwajasthamba is considered as the symbol of hope and desire to overcome one’s ignorance.

Dwajasthambam is an indication of the spinal cord in our human body as told in Agamas. There are totally 32 spiral bones in our spinal cord and even the flag pole has 32 rings. There are many rules mentioned in the Agamas about the installing of this Dwajasthambam.

The Dwajasthamba is believed to carry the power of the God in the temple.
