Kuthalam – Kattalaicherry is located at a distance of 1 km across the Vickrama Chola River which flows east of Thirumangalam on the crossroads. The village has a Shiva temple and a Vaishnava temple.

Lord – Chidambaraswarar The name of Goddess is not known. The Lord is facing east and the Goddess is facing south. There is a Ganesha shrine in Prakaram. The priest of the temple comes from Murugamangalam which is five to six km away No one knows when it will come Puja only once or twice a week. It is our duty to go to the village shrine to raise awareness and give self-confidence to the local people. # “With the kind permission of Sri Kadambur K. Vijayan, these are extracted from his posts”.
