Thiruvakkarai

The temple here is a place to be visited by the tourists. It is located near Tindivanam on the banks of the river Varaha Nadhi. Various parts of this temple were erected by Sembian Mahadevi, the Chola queen.

The place has various reasons to be interested. The entry is not associated in a line. The Nandi of this temple is also taken away from its usual place in front of the chamber. A strange mudra of the Chathura Dance pose of Nataraja can be seen here. Another reason behind this place being famous is the trees that have become rocks and fossilized due to passage of time. In a special park, these are exhibited. Hundreds of people get together here during full moon nights to worship the multi-handed Kali known as Vakra Kali Amman enshrined near the front gopuram. Here, is an eccentric convention concerning the puja in this temple. The regular Puja is performed in the period known as `Ragukalam` or the period under the influence of Ragu.
