The Glow of the Root: How Hanuman Marked the Unseen Sanctuary
Tamil Sthala Purana (Vedic Tradition) (This narrative is a modern academic construct (synthesis) based on general Puranic themes of divine consecration (Pratishtha Leelas) and the power of Bhakti, and is not traceable to a specific verse or chapter in the major canonical texts (e.g., Bhagavata Purana, Vishnu Purana, or Ramayana).)
A sage struggling to consecrate an impure sacred grove witnesses Hanuman's routine passage. When Hanuman accidentally touches a specific cluster of roots, they emit a brilliant, localized, divine glow. The sage realizes this is not a temporary miracle, but a permanent, sacred mark (pratima) gifted by the Lord, resolving the land's impurity and establishing the site's foundational sanctity.

Moral & Divine Teaching
True sanctity is not found through complex rituals or human effort, but through the spontaneous, unwavering grace (leela) of divine devotion. The greatest blessing is often the most subtle and unexpected.
