துடையூர்,விஷமங்களேஸ்வரர் திருக்கோவில்

விஷமங்களேஸ்வரர் திருக்கோவில்

On the Banks of Kollidam is this beautiful temple. Situated on the highway from Trichy-> Musiri-> Namakkal. Awesome temple that I felt blessed visiting. The temple is silently located. The lord shiva named Kadamba vana விஷமங்களேஸ்வரர் is in the Gigantic Long Linga Form and to his Left is Goddess மங்களநாயகி. She is a dazzling Beauty.

Surrounding the Shiva sannadhi , to the left is Veena Dakshina Moorthy. This is the first place I saw Dakshinamoorthy playing Veena. Behind the Shiva Sannadhi is Uma Alingana Moorthy, Lord Shiva Hugging parthy at one of his sides. There is Lord Brahma to the right of Shivan Sannadhi. There are also Durgai & Chandikeshwarar. There are also Saraswathi, Lakshmi Narayanar Sannadhi adjacent to Shivan Saanadhi. the temple is Small and compact. One can feel the vibration entering the temple. It is one of the PAADAL Petra Sthalam. Appar Peruman has Sung in Praise of the Lord Shiva.

It is believed that no poisonous insects bites people here in Thudayur. Near by this temple is a Maha Kali temple and the Grama Devathas temple. The temple can be seen from the highway and one has to cross a small bridge and travel parallel to Kollidam to reach this temple.
