Recently (today) Iraivan temple, an all stone temple in America, 30 years + in the making, had its grand opening. Videos can be seen at himalayanacademy.com. Some beautiful scenery, and stunning grand ceremonies.
Am I correct in saying that Iraivan is of dual gender? That, however does not matter. What is gender to Gods. That is a human concern/obsession.
However, some Gods are concerned about it.

Nope. It is one of the oldest words for God in Tamil, and means 'He who is worshipped'. Iraivan temple has one shrine ... the moolasthanam, and is entirely and only dedicated to Siva. (Iraivan)
