Kacchabeswar

Kamatchi

She is the most powerful godess and the nearest resemblence to Srichakra devi described by Aadi Sankara. here sancton sanctoram is triangular like the triangle in the middle of srichakra.

There are no temple for godess in so many siva temples in kanchipuram as she is the only sakthi. So you will only find lingam of siva in temples. THis temple has 24 pillars for 24 alphabets of gayatri mantra. The only other to my knowledge is sriramgam temple.

Sidheswarar siva temple - has a tall siva lingam..this temple is near murugan talkies

Mukthiswarar siva temple

Ulagalanda permual koil

Varadarajaperumal


My guru had asked me to visit dirgajaleswar temple in nedungunam very specifically an d offer prayers to shiva and abhisekam to valam puri vinayagar—gurukal organized all the required stuff including sundal.. had landed very late in the afternoon at 1.30 so had meals near a mess near hotal saravana that has been there for 30 years..fairly good meals..there is a lodge in chetpet from where one needs to take an auto to temple..auto fare 60 + 60 if waiting another 30 so 150..paid mine 200 since he really had to wait a long time..temple opened at 3pm but it was yamagandam and so had to wait till 4.30 to start..wonderful dharshan

There is a rama temple where rama is without villu(bow and arrow) as a shantha moorthy having his right palm facing his heart..very old temple and a good one..see link below..
