 Thazuvikandeswarar Temple is a Hindu Temple dedicated to Lord Shiva located at Thiruvalangadu in Thiruvallur District of Tamilnadu. The place where Karaikkal Ammaiyar embraced the Shiva lingam and that’s why the Lord is called Thazuvikandeswarar. Saiva Saint Thirugnana Sambandar sang hymns on Thiruvalangadu Lord Shiva from this temple itself, as he was not for walking upto that shrine worshipped by Karaikkal Ammaiyar, who went by her head. She didn’t walk as that will make her stumble on small lingams.
