Cheyyur
Sri Kandaswamy Temple,Cheyyur in Kanchipuram District..
The temple faces South. There is no gopuram at the entrance. The Main sanctorum faces East. Inside the main shrine, One can see Sri Kandaswamy with his consorts Valli and Deivaanai.
Yet another uniue feature of this temple is something that cannot be found in any other temple in the world. There are 27 Star Vethlams (Bethals) one for each star. We may recall reading about Vethalams in King Vikramaditya’s story. The Vethalas found here are those Sivaganas that had served on Lord Muruga’s army and helped to fight demons like Soorapadman and others.
