Sri Amirthakadeswarar Temple, Nolambur, Chennai

 










Moolavar: Sri Amirthakadeswarar
Amman: Sri Abirami Ambal

The supreme deity Shiva is one of the eight holy places of the gods. The sacred Abhirami Udanurai Sri Amrithakadeswarar temple in Nayaganpettai village near Kanchipuram has all the special features of Athirkadaiyur.

The Amrithakadeswarar temple, which was built in the Nayaganpettai village near Kanchipuram, was hidden by the gods and demons in this temple because they did not worship Ganesha before churning the ocean of milk to extract the nectar, and since the Amrithakudeswarar was the Shivalinga, the name Amrithakadeswarar came to the source as Amrithakadeswarar + Kadam + Eeswarar = Amrithakadeswarar.

In the past, a pond was dug in Nayaganpettai for drinking water, and the water overflowed. Shiva arose in the middle of it as a self-depicted image. Since it appeared like nectar in the water, they named it Amritkadeswarar and started worshipping it. The power that emerged in the meditation of Mahavishnu is the mother Abhirami.

Sashtyapta Shanthi Tirutham (60th wedding)
Since Lord Shiva killed Eman himself to save Markandeya from Eman, he got the name Kalasahara Murthy. This special place is a special place for people who have reached the age of 59 and are 60 years old for Ukrarata Shanthi, 60 years old for Sashtyapta Shanthi, 69 years old for Bhimaratha Shanthi, 80 years old and 85 years old for Sadabhishekam and Ayushya Homa. There is no need to go to Thirukkadaiyur. The temple administration makes all the arrangements. We also performed the Sashtyapta Purthi here at our house.

Since Nayaganpet is located on the northern bank of the Vegavathi River, this village is also called Vada Thirukadaiyur. There is a Rukmani Sathyabama sametha Sri Venugopalaswamy temple just opposite this temple.
