Kandu Ullam Magizhndha Perumal Temple History and Significance

The temple's name, 'Kandu Ullam Magizhndha Perumal,' translates to 'the Lord whose heart rejoiced upon seeing.' According to legend, during Sita's abduction by Ravana, she dropped her anklet (Padagam) at this location as a clue for Lord Rama. Lakshmana identified the anklet, confirming it belonged to Sita, which brought joy to Rama. Consequently, the place was named Padagacheri, derived from 'Padagam.' Additionally, the village is associated with Ramalinga Swamigal, a mendicant dedicated to temple renovation and construction. Known as Padagacheri Mahan, he organized large-scale annadhanam (feeding the poor) and was renowned for his healing abilities. His Jeeva Samadhi is located in Thiruvotriyur, near Saint Pattinathar’s.
