Sri Jalanatheeswarar temple is an ancient Shiva temple in Thiruvooral, Takkolam which is 58.0 km from Chennai and 26 km from Kanchipuram. This is one of the padal petra sthalams and the temple is more than 2000 years old. This ancient temple is believed to have been built by king Rajaraja Chola-II. There are many legends behind this 1000 years plus old temple, one of them is that King Sivathithan who ruled Thiruvural was troubled by a demon called Thakkar. The King prayed to Lord Shiva of this temple and Lord Siva instructed Goddess Kali to destroy the demon. Goddess Kali fought and destroyed Thakkar. It is said that since Thakkan made a loud and plaintive cry (Olam in Tamil) before being killed by Goddess Kali, this place got the name Thakkan's Olam, Thakkolam. As per another legend, the divine cow Kamadhenu is also believed to have worshipped the lord here by pouring milk on the lingam. She was cured of a curse and got back her original form and power. Lord Indian is believed to have come to Thiruvooral and took her back to the Deva Logam. Another legend is that Goddess Parvathi was insulted by her father Dakshan during a yagna, and she came to this place and installed a lingam made of sand. Once while performing a penance, this region was flooded by rising waters, and to protect the lingam, Goddess Parvathi embraced it. The markings can still be seen on the idol. Since this Lingam is believed to have been embraced by Goddess Parvathi, it is not touched by human hands even now. Poojas are performed by the archakas without touching them. Takkolam sivan temple Temple Praharam The Temple: The main tower (Rajagopuram) has 3 tiers and is facing the west and has two prharams (corridors). The Shiva in this temple is a Suyambu (self-manifested) facing east. A unique feature of the Shiva Lingam here is that during the six months covering Utharayanam (from mid-January to July), the Shivalingam appears red when crops are fertile during rain and during the Dakshinayanam (from mid-July to January), the Shivalingam turns white during the dry drought period. There is a separate sannidhis for Lord Ganesha, Subramanya with his consorts, Saint Sambanthar ( Thiruvooral Sambanthar), Iyappan, Natarajar, Dakshinamurthy, Brahma, Mahavishnu, Durgai, Saptha Madhas, Bhairavar, Maha Vishnu, Mahalakshmi, and Navagrahas. Lord Dakshinamurthy can be seen in a seated posture. He has his head slightly tilted, legs crossed as if he is listening to your prayers. This is one of the most important Dakshinamurthy temples in Tamil Nadu. Faiths & Beliefs: Devotees who do good deeds in this temple would get multifold benefits. This temple is also a parihara sthalam for doshas related to Guru ( Jupiter). Worshipped by Kamadenu: Kamadenu, the divine cow, is also believed to have worshipped the lord here by pouring milk on the lingam. She was relieved from the Theerkathar curse and got back her original form and power. On knowing this, Lord Indiran is believed to have come to Thiruvooral and taken her back to the celestial world. Water flowing out from the Mouth of Nandhi: At the behest of sage Uttandi, Nandi brought the river Ganges to this place. In the olden days, it was designed in a way that water would come out of the Nandi idol and flow around the Shiva Linga idol; it would reach another Nandi idol and come out of its mouth to ultimately reach the river ‘Kallaru’. Chandran got relieved of his curse here: Thakkan gave all his 27 daughters to marry Chandran. After marriage, he showed interest in only one wife Rohini and the rest he ignored. Thakkan got wild and cursed Chandran with deadly skin disease. Chandran worshipped in this temple and after taking bath in the Ganga Theertha Kulam he was relieved out of the curse. Demon Thakkan: One more legend is that King Sivathithan who ruled Thiruvural was troubled by the demon Thakkan. The King prayed to Lord Shiva of this temple who instructed Goddess Kali to destroy the demon. Goddess Kali executed the orders of Lord Shiva. For this reason, there is a separate shrine for Goddess Kali at the border of this place. This shrine attracts a large number of devotees. It is believed that since Thakkan cried loudly before being killed by Goddess Kali, this place got the name Thakkan Olam – Thakkolam (Olam meaning crying loudly). Sthala Vriksham: Another reason why this place is named “Thakkolam” is that the sacred tree of this temple is also called “Thakkolam” (Pottu). Worshipped by Others: It is believed that Sage Samvartha, Lords Mahavishnu, Indiran, Suryan, Chandran, Yama (lord of death), Sage Udhadhi, Sage Theerkathar, Saptha Kannikas (the seven divine virgins), Pandavas, and Savitha Sivachariyar have also worshipped the Lord of this temple to seek absolution for their sins. Since the divine cow Kamadenu worshipped the Lord in this place, any good deed by devotees done here pleasing Lord Shiva would bring them 100-fold benefits.
