Sri Sadaiyeeswarar Temple, Vallam, Kanchipuram

 

























Moolavar: Sri Sadaiyeeswarar
Amman: Sri Sayanambikai

Very beautiful 2000 years old Sivan temple facing east. Temple tower is full of suthai sculptures. The uniqueness of this temple is moolavar Sadaiyeeswarar and Nandhi faces the opposite direction of the sanctum unlike other shiva temples. 

It is believed that Sivan is doing Tapas and Nandi is escorting. Lingam banam is huge in size and appears majestic square avudayar. Another special feature is behind the lingabanam Sivam and Parvathi standing with somaskandar along with Bramha and Vishnu. Suriyan and chandran placed in their left and right.

Idampuri vinayagar, Dakshinamurthy, lingothbhawar, sandikeswarar, Vishnu durgai are placed in prakaram appropriately.

Pooja is happening 4 times a day and celebrating all other auspicious days. Perumal with Thayar also placed inside praharam. There is a famous Vallakottai Murugan temple who receives Vel from this temple during Surasamharam day.
Gurukkal staying near the temple and fortunately this is not under HR&C control hence it has been maintained very well by localites
