Sthalam: Thiruvetkalam
Swami: Pasupatheswarar
Ambal: Nalla Nayagi (sathgunambigai)
Legend: It is said that Arjuna did penance here and shiva gave Pasupathstra to him in this place only.
Route: The temple is located in Annamalai nagar. It is good to take an auto. Everyone in the campus knows about this temple and is very big also. One has to enquire for music department and has to walk straight in the same road itself, which will take out of the university campus, but within annamalai nagar. Within 5 min walk from Music department, we can reach the temple.
Special Structures: There are lot of small and even minute sculptures in the temple. For example, even the dwarapalakas themselves are very small. A Rishabaruda sculpture with complete fine art within small stone is a treat to eyes. Similarly almost all the sculptures are small. One can circumbulate both swami and ambal individually and also by merging both shrines.
Within the reach is other two temples (within the same village- Sivapuri). Will discuss that next.

Sthalam: Keeranur
Swami: Sivaloganathar
Ambal: Ksheerambigai
Route: This small village is located in the main route of Mayiladuthurai--Thiruvarur. (near Peralam)
Legend: When a chola king travelled through this way, his horse has hitted the shivalingam and because of that blood oozed out from the lingam. Devi parvathi took the form of divine cow and then poured milk over the lingam and cured. Hence she is known as Ksheerambigai (Ksheeram- Milk).
Specialities: 1. This temple is famous for Lord Murugan. (Muthukumaraswamy). Like vaitheeswaran koil, even here also, murugan is famous than swami and ambal.
2. This is a very famous temple for getting child. Ambal is varaprasdini for this.
3. The temple owns a big pond in front of the temple.
