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.
