Introduction

Kandikai Village in Kanchipuram District. This temple is believed to be 1,500 years old. Since the structure had got damaged to a very great extent, local people have constructed a very small temple nearby and placed the idols of Agora Veerabadhrar and Kaligambaal in it. The name of the village itself is very unique, Perum + Peru + Kandigai, meaning that one should be very fortunate in order to take birth in this village. This village is situated approximately 5 Kms from Achirappakkam (a small town in Chennai – Trichy national Highway). It is said that during ancient times, there were nearly 33 temples in this village. As days passed on, most of them got damaged due to various reasons and only a few among them were left. Perumber kandikai is located in the Chennai – Trichy National Highway, after Achirappakkam, at an about 5 kms you have to turn left and go for about 2 kms. Thozhuppedu Rail Way Station and Achirappakkam Rail Way Station are the very nearby railway stations to Perumber Kandigai. Chennai Airport is located at a distance of 84 Kms from Perumber Kandigai.
