Introduction

Nagai District, Circle Kottappadi Shiva Temple Kottappadi village can be reached by crossing Ambal on the Poonthottam-Karaikal road and traveling 3 km on the Porakudi-Akalangan road. Here, on the way to the entrance to the town, turn right and you will see a ruined Shiva temple facing east. The idols have been kept in a separate tin shed as the temple has been badly damaged. Lord Shiva is with the sanctum facing east and Goddess with the sanctum facing south. There are separate shrines to Lord Ganesha and Lord Murugan in the sanctum sanctorum. The temple wall was completely demolished and disappeared There is a large pond directly opposite the temple. An inscription from the Thirty-fifth Reign of Kulothungan III is on the left wall of the entrance to the Shivalokanathar Sanctuary. Lord Sivaloganathar is also known as Goddess Sivagami. In front of the sanctum sanctorum is the Nandi Mandapam, with an inscription on its floor, which appears to have been written some centuries ago. The Guru who saw many shifts is moving here today He will never count on us. We will stop waiting at the toll temples and walk towards the nearby villages. # “With the kind permission of Sri Kadambur K. Vijayan, these are extracted from his posts”.
