A TEMPLE WHERE THE LORD WAS BLESSED WITH A CONCH






 The  Divya Kshetram   " TALAICHCHANGA NAANMADIYAM ''is located in Talaichchangaadu village close to  Aakkur near Sirkazhi, between Chidambaram and Mayiladuthurai in Tamil Nadu

The presiding deity is Naanmadiyapperumal is in a standing posture and the Goddess is Talaichanga Nachiyar. The sacred water is Chandra pushkarini and the sanctum sanctorum is chandra vimanam .

The legend is that Lord Vishnu was blessed with  a conch - Talai Changu - upon worshipping Siva. A priceless  conch adorns the image of the Lord in this kshetram. It is also believed that Chandran, the moon God worshipped Lord Vishnu, and hence the pushkarini is called Chandra pushkarini. There is a very beautiful idol of Andal in this temple.
