History & tradition
Jalanatheeswarar Temple, also called Thiruvooral, is in Thakkolam, a village in northern Tamil Nadu. Shiva is worshipped here as Jalanatheeswarar in the form of a lingam, and Parvati as Giriraja Kannikambal. The deity is mentioned in the 7th-century Tevaram, so the shrine is counted among the Paadal Petra Sthalams. The complex covers about an acre and is entered through a three-tiered gopuram; the shrines of the god and the goddess are the most prominent within it.
