Thirukalikundram

View from the Eagle Rock Temple over Thirukalikundram. At the foot of the hill there is also a larger Shiva Temple. At the South-East end of the town is a spacious tank whose waters are said to have curative powers. Once every 12 years, a conch is discovered in this tank and thousands of devotees flock to bathe in the tank at this auspicious time. A collection of the conches is displayed in the larger Shiva Temple.
