| introduction Nine miles southeast of Chingleput is Pakshi Teertham, one of the most
visited pilgrim centres of Tamilnad, commonly known as Tirukkazhukkunram, where a pair of
kites daily visit at 12 noon, have their food and then fly away. This has been happening
for centuries and why the particular two kites true to the clock visit the temple on the
maintain is a mystery. The belief that these kites have their bath at Banaras, worship at
Rameswaram, take their food at Pakshi Teertham and rest at Chidambaram, is popular among
the people.
