Sthalam
<p>Kiliyanur is at a distance of about 25 kms from Pondicherry on the Pondicherry to Tindivanam route. After crossing Morattandi, there is a small road on the right going to Kiliyanur village. Travel along that road for about 3 kms to reach the temple. The temple is near the village Brammadesam and at a distance of about one km from Kiliyanur bus stand.</p> <p>Two more Paadal Petra Sthalam, Arisili and Irumbai Maakaalam are located very near to this place.</p> <h3> </h3> <h3> </h3>
Puranam
<h3><strong>History of the Temple</strong></h3> <p>This temple is around 1500 years old and was built in the Chola period. “Killi” is the surname of Chola kings and there are historical references to kings from the Chola period like King Nedungkilli and King Killivalavan. It is possible that this place’s name “Kiliyanur” might have been derived from its connection to the Chola dynasty.</p> <p>As per the stone inscriptions in the temple, it can be deduced that this temple was first built using bricks and later reconstructed using granite during King Paranthaka Chola-I’s period.</p> <h3><strong>Legend</strong></h3> <p>It is said that the lingam (Moolavar) was installed and worshiped by Sage Agasthiyar, so the lord is named Sri Agastheeswarar.</p> <p>It is also said that Nandi Devar (the bull which serves as the mount of Lord Shiva), who is in front of Goddess Akilandeswari is performing poojas and worshiping her on Maha Shivratri days. Some inscriptions about this are also available in this temple.</p> <h3> </h3>
Varnam
<h3> </h3> <h3><strong>Greatness of this temple</strong></h3> <p>Devotees visit this temple and worship the lord here to seek remedies for obstacles in marriage proposals and to seek the lord’s blessing for good education. It is also believed that worshiping Lord Shiva here will grant the boon of childbirth to childless couples.</p> <p>It is a common belief that drinking the abishekam milk (milk that has been poured on the lingam) at this temple can cure illness, especially stomach ailments.</p> <p>Since Adisheshan is believed to have worshipped Lord Shiva here, this temple is considered as a parikara Sthalam for Rahu-Kedu Dosham.</p>
Highlights
<h3> </h3> <h3>It is said that Sage Kalava Maharishi came to this place and stayed here for a long time with his two daughters who were suffering from some critical illness. They prayed to Lord Shiva here. Impressed by their devotion, Lord Shiva blessed the Sage’s daughters and cured them of their ailments.</h3> <p>It is also believed that the parrot-faced Sage Sukabrahma Maharishi visited and worshipped Lord Shiva here to seek relief from his stomach ailments.</p> <p>Adisheshan (the serpent on whom Sri Mahavishnu rests) is also believed to have worshipped Lord Shiva here.<strong> </strong></p>
Sevas/Festivals
<h3> </h3> <h3><strong>Deities in the Temple</strong></h3> <p>Apart from Lord Agastheewarar’s shrine, there is a separate shrine for Goddess Akilandeswari.
