Tiruaadanur - Aandalakkumeyyan Temple

Kamadhenu - the celestial wish-yielding cow had the singular fortune of getting blessed by this Lord Andalakkumeyyan in the bygone past. This holy kshetra had given asylum to Kamdhenu at a critical phase in its life, and when it offered its soulful prayers to this All- merciful IDrd, He lifted it instantaneously froth the bog of sorrow. Hence forward it led a blissful life. This Lord has passion for genuine worship, and whosoever prays devoutly - be it a quadruped or biped, he emancipists the saranartha as certain as certainty itself. The name of the place is appropriate since the divine cow enjoyed the vision of God. The temple built in the Dravidian style of architecture possesses all parts and is adorned with Pranavaakara Vimana. The Mother is called Sri Ranganayaki Natchiyar. And the temple tank goes by the name of Surya Pushkarini. Daily worship is offered according to Agamic tenets. And the periodical festivals lure huge crowds. Thirumangai Alwar offered Pasuramala to this Lord eulogising the splendour of the place and grace of the Lord.

It lies about 6 km off Swamimalai in the Kumbhakonam taluq of Tanjore district of Tamilnadu, and transport is not quite satisfactory.
