Sri Chidambareswarar Temple, Thiruthottikalai, Sevvapetai, Thiruvallur

 



















Moolavar: Sri Chidambareswarar
Amman: Sri Sivagami Ambal

A very old temple which was built during the Pallava period. It is said that when Indra prayed to lord shiva for Amrutham, lord shiva appeared to him and gave the Amruta Kalasa. While he gave a drop of Amrutham fell here and it formed a Swayambhu Sivalingam. As he was formed out of the Amruta kalasam he was called Amruta Kalasa Thyageswarar and this village was called as Kalasai.
