TIRUVIRKKOLAM - TRIPURANTHAKAR TIRUKKOVL

Here is a saiva temple with a difference. The glory of this kshetra is that it acts as a barometer to the locals by the change of colour of the Sivalinga adored with great veneration. According to local belief, the object of adoration - Sivalinga locally called Tripurantakar, turns white, indicating heavy down pour, and becomes red predicting an impending calamity. What a boon ! And how fortunate are the residents of this holy region ! The saiva saint Sambandar poured out his soul in praise of the Lord. The temple tank is called Kupagni and Mother Parvathi, Tripurantaki Ammal. A visit worthy temple.

It lies 10 km of Kadambattur and accessible by bus and train.
