Classical Parihara Temple & Lore
Sri Prasanna Venkatesa Perumal Temple
📍 Gunaseelam, Tiruchirappalli District, Tamil Nadu
Shravana is presided over by Lord Maha Vishnu (Hari). Lord Venkateswara of Tirumala and Lord Uppiliappan are intrinsically linked to Shravana. Sri Prasanna Venkatesa Perumal Temple in Gunaseelam is celebrated for healing mental afflictions and conferring deep scholarship. Lord Vamana also manifested on Shravana.
Traditional characteristics
Shravana is ruled by the Moon within Saturn-ruled Makara; classical texts praise its profound listening ability (shruthi), thirst for sacred knowledge, discipline, and humility.
The ear or three footprints symbolize reverent attentiveness to Vedic truth and Lord Vishnu's cosmic strides as Vamana.
Saturn's realistic pragmatism paired with the Moon's empathetic intuition fosters gifted educators, diplomats, counselors, and public figures.
The above is classical attribution - not an engine-generated personality report.
Compatibility
Compatibility Rules: Shravana belongs to Kantha (Neck) Rajju; sharing Kantha Rajju with Rohini, Ardra, Hasta, Swati, or Shatabhisha triggers Rajju dosha. Female Monkey yoni opposes Sheep/Goat yoni (Krittika, Pushya). As a Deva gana nakshatra, it pairs smoothly with Deva and Manushya charts.
