Kaavan Thandalam is a village about 15km from Uthramerur on the banks of River Cheyyar.The twin temples are more than 1500 years old and has been renovated a few years back.
In this village there are 2 shivan temples opposite each other. One on the banks and the other opposite this temple with a road in between.
First let us know about the riverside Kasi Viswanathar temple in which Rishi Kaseebar meditated and prayed to this Lord. Visiting this temple is equivalent to visiting Kasi/ Rameswaram. It is also a Pithru Parihara Sthalam.
This temple is being taken care of Palani Siva who has no vision and is devoting his full time and energy for restoration of old Shiva temples and ensuring daily pooja in all these temples. He is well versed in Thevaram songs and recites them regularly. He has renovated and consecrated atleast 4 temples as a one man army.
His request for resources was accepted and Rs 500 per month for each temple has been accepted and is being paid from May 2015.
The other temple across the road in Kaavan thandalam is also a Shiva temple whose pictures are given below:
The upkeep of this temple is good and the local couple seen above, clean the place and do all things necessary for the daily pooja under directions of Palani Siva.
In June they have also launched Daily Annadhanam Scheme and nearly 40 deserving people gain by this scheme.
This village has not much resources and hence they depend on donors to support their cause. Recognising their intentions and effort, it has been decided to pay monthly a sum of Rs 500 for each temple to uninterruptedly perform daily pooja in both the temples.
