It
was planned to visit 4 Shiva Temples and
an Amman temple of Thaiyur, near Kelambakkam
on 21st July 2021, of
which Azhakeeswarar temple was closed during my Visit. This place was called as
“Thaikaja Muruganur” ( Thaikajam – means Sand stone in Sanskrit ), since Lord Muruga was made of Sand Stone at Sri
Murugeeswarar Temple, which has got corrupted to the present name of Thaiyur.
It was learnt that there were 7 Shiva Temples in this Village Thaiyur of which
3 are not exists now. This Jalakandeswarar temple
is on the Thaiyur lake bund.
