Sri Siddhapureeswarar Temple, Padapai

 











Moolavar: Sri Siddhapureeswarar
Amman: Sri Sidhanayagi Amman

The temple is open to sky with a Shivalinga, Nandhi, Balipedam and a Siddha Vinayagar. A Gajalakshmi panel was installed  near Shivalinga, in which Lakshmi is in sitting on Lotus with both legs are touching the floor. She is shown with two hands holding lotus flowers and a Pallava period makuda. Elephants are shown on the sides. This is the only remains now to show that this temple belonged to the Pallava time. 

A small temple under neem trees with Siddhi Vinayagar,Vallideivayanai sametha Subramaniyan and Sidhanayagi  all in same pedestal. Very peaceful and a great vibration is what you can feel in this place
Also there are many old Shiva temples in and around this area like Orathur, Karasangal,Manimangalam and Vankadu.

It is said there was a Pallava period Shiva Temple that existed exactly at the the same place and inscriptions are also recorded as an evidence to this. Mahashiva rathri was also celebrated in a grand manner.

By his grace we were able to perform abhishekam to him with our own hands for the 200th week
