A Divine and Ancient Temple, situated in Nagapattinam. The priests here are humble and kind. There is a jeeva samadhi of Azukuni siddhar. The people there know it's a Sivan temple and could not identify if we ask where is kaya arogana Swami temple. The temple is surrounded by houses with narrow streets. If you are going by car you have to be careful . Must visit if you happen to be there @ Nagapattinam.
