During my 2 days stay at Thirukadaiyur visited Sri Abirami Samedha Sri Amirthakadeswarar temple and had the darshan of Lord Shiva. This includes Maragatha Lingam Abhishekam in morning Pooja and Artha jama Pooja. It was a different experience on both days. The procedure adopted for the morning pooja and Night pooja are very nice to see and I followed the gurukkal who shuttles between Shiva Temple and Amman Temple with Prasadam with Nadhaswaram. The irandam kaala pooja and Artha jama Pooja are conducted one after the other.

The both days darshan were  a gift for me. Even though I had been to the temple in connection with the Padal Petra Temple's visit, these two days I spent more time in the temple, admiring the sculptures and beauty of the temple.
