Introduction

Kameswarar Temple is dedicated to Hindu God Shiva located at Madavilagam Village near Maduranthakam in Kanchipuram District of Tamilnadu. The small village Madavilagam is located at about 5 km from Anaicut in Kanchipuram district. Presiding Deity is called as Kameswarar and Mother is called as Kokilambal. The 1000year old temple is fully built with stones. The presiding deity of the temple Lord Kameshwara, as the name implies, blesses childless couples with children. The special feature of the temple is it has four sacred tanks. Two of the tanks are dedicated to God of Death, Yama and Moon, Chandran. The sacred tree is Vilvam as usual with Siva temples. This temple is in a very pathetic condition with bushes all around, bats flying and the Gopura Kalasam itself is not there. The temple urgently needs repair and renovation.
