Atchipureeswarar Temple (Thazh Paaleeswarar Temple),
Edamachi, Kanchipuram
Atchipureeswarar
Temple is dedicated to Hindu God Shiva located in Edamachi Village of
Kanchipuram District. This Temple is called as Thazh Paaleeswarar Temple in
olden days. Edamachi is a small beautiful village surrounded by a serene,
greenish atmosphere. In this village, a very old Vinayagar temple is situated
near a small pond. Also, a Siva temple is found nearby.
Some
years ago, a very old Sivalingam was found by the villagers in the outskirts of
the village paddy fields. Devout people brought it to the village &
constructed a small temple and placed that Sivalingam as the main deity of that
temple. The temple construction was completed and Kumbabishegam was performed
in the year 2005.
The main
deity is called as Atchipureeswarar, earlier known as Thazh Paaleeswarar. No
Ambal Deity is found here. There are no other deities found in this temple.
There is a rare vilva tree, each leaf containing 5 petals, in the backyard of
the temple. Villagers say that no one had planted this vilva tree and it grew
on its own. Daily pooja is not being done in this temple. Only Pradosha Pooja
is being performed.
