 Sri Thirukachi Anegathangavadeswarar Temple – Kanchipuram

This Thirukkachi Anegadangavadeswarar temple is located as the 237th place among the 276 Shiva temples and the 4th place among Thondainattu temples.

 

Anegadam means elephant. Anegadangapatam means a shrine built and worshiped by the elephant-faced Lord Vinayaka, and to distinguish it from the northern Himalayan temple of the same name, Kachi was added and called Kachi Anegadangavatam. The shrine where Kubera was worshipped. There are references to this temple in the Kanji Purana.

 

Although Vinayaka is the place where Vallabhai was blessed, there is only Vinayaka in Tanichannadi here. Vallabhi is not with him. People who are barred from marriage worship him by making sacthi and naivedyams. They believe that marriage will happen soon.
