Introduction

A small Siva temple is located on a small hillock near Kolathur village of Mathuranthagam taluk. The Sivalinga was installed and worshipped by Sri Kalatti Siddhar in the past. Till recently Swamy was left in open and sheltered some years back. There is a rock cave behind Swamy and it is believed many Siddhars are in penance in the cave. Another significant feature of this shrine is a spring nearby. It will never go dry even in hot summer till now. The spring water becomes yellow during noontime. After crossing noontime the water regains its original color. This can be noticed even today. The reason behind this is everyday angels come here to worship the Lord after taking a bath with turmeric powder in the spring. This Shiva temple is in the open air. Daily two times puja is going on here. But the village not even takes care for build a temple fortis shiva lingam. The primary deity is shiva and in front Nandi devar, no other deity here.
