Siddhapureeswarar Temple / Siddhapuriswarar Temple, Pushpagiri (Sirumathur), Padappai, Kanchipuram District, Tamil Nadu.

08^th March 2020.

The visit to this temple was not planned earlier. After the Thenneri Shiva Temple visit, on the way to Tambaram, Mr. Kesavan, a Heritage Enthusiast, told me about this temple with the Pallava period Gajalakshmi, and hence decided to visit this temple.

The temple is open to the sky with a Shivalinga, Nandhi, Balipeedam, and Siddhi Vinayagar. A Gajalakshmi panel was installed near Shivalinga, in which Lakshmi is sitting on a Lotus with both legs touching the floor. She is shown with two hands holding lotus flowers and a Pallava period makuda. Elephants are shown on the sides.

It was said that there was a Pallava-period Shiva Temple that existed in the same place, and inscriptions are also recorded. Mahashivratri is celebrated grandly.
