We next visited a series of shiva temples. The Navanitheswarar temple at Sikkal, the Agastheeswarar temple and Kaayarogana swami temple at Naagai. We were informed that there are in all twelve shiva templeas in Nagai.
The oldest amonst these is the Kaayarogan swami samedha Neelayadakshi temple.
Highlights:
- has the samaadhi of Aribadha Nayanar a Shivaite saint who was born in Naagai.
- Is one of the Sapthaidanga Shetram (Lit. Seven (holy) places) and has the famous Thyagaraja Swami idols.
The temple also called Naagai Karonam in the Thirumurai is huge though not in the same league as Thiruvaroor or Chidambaram.
