The
visit to this Sri Shiva Temple at Kadapakkam, near Pulicat, was a part of
“Shiva, Vishnu Temples visit and 108th Ahimsa Walk” in Tiruvallur
District on 29th March 2026.
Moolavar: Sri Shiva
Some
of the salient features of this temple are…..
The
temple faces east with a balipeedam and Rishabam. Moolavar is small on a round avudaiyar. No
images are in the koshtams.
ARCHITECTURE
The
total temple was reconstructed with brick and cement concrete. The temple
consists of the sanctum sanctorum and an open mukha mandapam. The sanctum sanctorum
is on an adhistanam. The temple was built in a village style without conforming to any
architectural style. There is no vimanam above the sanctum sanctorum.
HISTORY
AND INSCRIPTIONS
The temple belongs to the 10th to 11th century Chozha period.
An inscription tablet was found in this temple. For safety reasons, the same was
moved to Sri Brahmeswarar Temple in the same village. The inscription records some endowment; since the inscription is
damaged, we couldn’t get more details.
