This week's Podcast is about "Arulmigu Thirukalleeswarar Alayam – Thirukandalam (Thirukallil)".
This Shivasthalam is located at about 40 km from Chennai and 10 km from Periyapalayam. A calm village unpolluted from the mad crowd of the city. We cannot find even a single shop around the temple and so come prepared with all your pooja and food requirements. The temple tank in front of the temple is called Nandhi Thirtha created by Nandiswara is amazingly clean and very familiar for holy dip.

Main Deity : Shiva - Thirukalleeswarar, Sivanandeswarar
Goddess : Anandavalli
Holy tree : Kalli
Pathigam : Thirugnanasambandar, 18th of the 32 Tevara Stalams in the Tondai region
Theertham : Nandhi Thirtha
Festivals : Vinayaka Chathurthi, Navarathri, Skanda Sashti, Karthigai Deepam and Full moon day in the month of Ayppasi (Annabhishegam).


Shiva was in the midst of Kalli trees and so the name of the place is called Thirukallil and the Shiva is called Thirukalleeswarar. Rishi Bhrigu said to have worshipped Shiva here with 1000 Kalli flowers and Shiva appeared to him in the form of Sakthi Dhakshinamurthy, i.e., Dhakshinamurthy with Goddess Sakthi which is unique to this place.
