Balugantha Shiva Temple – Thiruvoippadi (near Kumbakonam)


Significance
  • Place where Chandikeswarar (Chandesvara Nayanar) made the Siva lingam out of Manniyar river sand and worshipped the Lord.

·       This temple is located on the Kumbakonam – Anakarai route. Travelling from Kumbakonam (18 kms), after reaching the place Cholapuram, there will be a small road on the left side which leads to this temple at about 2 km from the road.

  1. TIRUVAIPADI TEMPLE IS ONLY 300 METERES FROM THE KUMBAKONAM-ANAIKARTAI(VIKRAVANDI) ROAD AND NOT 2 KM FROM THE ROAD. TWO MORE PAADAL PETRA STALAM NEAR TO TIRUVAIPADI IS SENGANUR AND TIRUPPANANDAL. THIS IS FOR YOUR KIND INFORMATION SIR.
