Another place where you can get the blessings of great sage Roma Maharishi is the famous Jambukeswarar and Akilandeswari temple in Thiruvaanaikoil, Trichy. Although , there is no separate sannidhi for Roma Maharishi, you can see him on the pillar just before you enter Jambukeswarar sannidhi just after the kodimaram.
There is an ambiguity whether this particular sculpture is Roma Maharishi or Jambu Maharishi who also looks similar with the vriksham coming out of his head (this temple came to be known as Jambukeswarar temple because of the great Jambu Maharishi). However, this particular sculpture in the pillar appears with hair follicles rather than tree branches and sculptures at other places in the temple also confirm to some extent that this statue belongs to Roma Maharishi.
