This
ancient temple springs many. surprises and enshrines in its campus
many adorable objects, such as panchabhuta lingas and a queer palm
tree combining in itself male and female parts. The Nandi unusually
faces east. Legends glorify the place saying that Lord Siva taught
Devas and Maharshis the Vedas and hence the archamurti was
appropriately called Vedanadeeswarar. The temple tank Kalyanakoti is
located within in the prakara itself and confers blessings on the
bathers. In the vicinity of it lies river Cheyyar. So one has to
cross the river by boat to reach the temple.
It
lies 31 km off Kanchipuram. Visitors have to necessarily cross the
river Cheyyar to adore the Lord.
