The Vishakandeeswarar temple (kaalahastheeswarar) is found inside the panamaneeswarar temple. The poison released from the snake vaasuki during the churn of the Paarkadal wasa consumed by lord shivaa. When the poisn reached the throat of shivaa Paarvathi got hold of his neck tightly so that the poison could not spread into his body. This made shivaa giddy. This shivaa linga denotes this story. This linga is know known as Kaalahastheeswarar.
