Sholinghur, a picturesque town in Vellore district, is most famous for its two hill temples. One for Yoga Narasimhar and one for Anjaneya. In between both these hills housing the Hindu gods is also another ‘Tiny temple’ that has risen to fame for being a ‘Valentine’s Temple’.
The story of this place goes back a few years ago when R. Jagannath, an ardent Krishna devotee residing in Pazhavanthangal, wanted to construct a temple. He chose Sholinghur, where his family still has connections, and began work on it in 2011.
The gopuram was specially made by an expert from Srirangam and the main idol of Krishna and Radha was made from Jaipur marble. “The biggest attraction is the deity — it has a calf licking Lord Krishna’s feet. This shows affection and love.”
This ‘love’ is what Jagannath hoped people would associate with this temple And when it came to naming the place, he had a quirky idea. “I’ve grown up in Hyderabad and Bangalore, where Valentine’s Day was celebrated with a lot of fervour even in those days. So, I thought, why not name this temple as ‘Valentine’s Krishna’?”
That was the birth of the ‘God of Love’, as he calls Lord Krishna. “There’s a pressing need to brand what you float, including temples. I sincerely believed that the Lord here could help you unite with the love of your life”.
