Introduction

It is located 5 km east of Kolli. Not many people know that there are three Shiva temples in this city. The first stop is the kadatheru Street bus stand, near which is the Shiva Temple called Saktheeswarar. To the east is a small temple, on the upper side of the gate is a swastika that embraces the Ambika Lingathirumeni. In the sanctum sanctorum, Ambika is seen embracing Lingathirumeni, so Ambika is not alone. The Lord is guarded by two gatekeepers at the gate of the shrine, opposite is Nandi. Ganesha with Vallabhalakshmi on his lap with 10 hands and Arumugam Valli Deivana with 12 hands with Thiruvatsi in a peacock vehicle. Apart from these there is Sanders. Idumban Sanctuary is located in front of the temple. The temple is privately controlled, so maintenance is minimal. # “With the kind permission of Sri Kadambur K.
