SANTHAALEESWARAR - KANCHIPURAM

The Saanthaaleeswarar temple is located behind the Pachaiyappas women’s college. Rishi Vyaasa earlier chanted that Naarayana is the only Parab Brahma. Later when he realized that his conception was wrong he created this linga and asked Shiva for forgiveness. This story is learnt from the Puraana called Saarnthasayam. The Nandhi of this temple is special. Linga has a round Aavudaiyar. The Linga is a 8 Striped Linga. This is a stone temple built by the Pallavas.
