We know about Sri Somaaskanthar.
Soma+Uma+Skantha. But here is Umaskanthar in Tiruvarur. In Tiruvarur temple Sri Thyagaraja swami is "Somaskanthar".Lord Siva,Uma and skantha(murugan) are sitting in the same panal.(Peetham).
one more unique Parvathy in one of the Veeratanam Vazuthur near Myladuthurai Gajasamhara moorthy temple. Her Lord shiva is tearing the elephant and Parvathy is standing nearby and holding murugan. See the elegant pose of siva, smile in parvathy face scare face of skantha. The sculptor shows his skill in this different pose, ornaments, dresses and also the bones and veins.
Neelothpalaambal (Alliyankothai) in the same temple is Umaskantha. Devi standing.Near by her friend (saki) who is carring skantha in her shoulder.Uma (Parvathy) is holding his finger. This is unique in both Moolavar and Urchavar.
In Tiruvenkadu when sambandar came for darshan he feel that the temple is filled with sivalinga so he afraid to step in to have darshan. Then parvathi carried sambanthar and went in. so here the amman is named as Iduki amman in first prakaram .
Here is my favourate Parvathy.
