Ardhanareeswarar Temple, Tiruchengode – Nagar Pallam
Nandhi
Malai and Nagamalai are split by a small valley called Nagar Pallam. Nagar Pallam
is the first and foremost past of the huge mountain Nagamalai. On either side
of the steps one can see a huge Snake with 5 heads spreading its hood carrying
the father of the world as Sivalingam. Over the head of the Snake it is
believed that rivers Gange, Yamuna and Saraswathi flow as holy water. People
worship this carved stone Snake with Kumkum and camphor. They also make Pongal
for the same.
