24. KIDANGARAI

SHIVA TEMPLE


Distance: 16kms from Chenulpet

Shiva: Shiva



There was an ancient shiva temple in Kidangarai. This temple has been completely ruined without any spot of existence. A Linga was found between 2 tamarind trees just peeping in between the barks. The 2 massive trees were holding the linga very strongly. The remains of the walls were found in pieces in a corner. The Nandhi and the Chandikeswarar were lying half buried under the ground. The villagers.

It was a great task for the villagers to remove the linga from the massive trees. Now the linga and the other 2 deities have been brought out and placed under a shelter.
