The visit to this Kadageswarar
temple on Big Kamala St, Melkathirpur, Periya Kanchipuram was a part of 2020
Maha Shivaratri Temples Visit, on 21st February 2020. After Sri Ari
Sabam Payam Theertheeswarar Temple’s Visit, our next destination was to this Kaduveli
Siddhar Jeeva Samadhi ( Mathaleeswarar

temple. The Shiva Linga is under a meta colour sheet shed. During our visit
decorations were made for Maha Shivaratri.
HISTORY
The story of Kaduveli
Siddhar is associated with the Irumbai Mahakaleshwarar Temple, Shiva Temple. During
his period, the place was suffered due to drought with out rain. It was told to
the king that this was due to Kaduveli Siddhar’s severe penance. To stop this
the king sent a Devadasi dancer. Disturbed
due to the dance the Kaduveli siddhar stopped his penance. During the
Urchavar's procession, the anklet of the Devadasi dancer had fallen down.
Kaduveli Siddhar fixed back her anklet. Seeing this act the people started
mocking at him. Angered Siddhar, sang a song on Lord Shiva to prove his devotion
and dedication. Immediately the Shiva Linga burst in to 3 pieces. Seeing this the people and the King realized their mistake and seek apology from the Siddhar.
Kaduveli Siddhar has sung a song and the Shiva Linga joined back.
