History & tradition
Kachabeswarar Temple is in Thirukachur, a village in the Kanchipuram district of Tamil Nadu. Shiva is worshipped here as Kachabeswarar in the form of a lingam, and Parvati as Antanatchi and Kanniyumaiyal. The deity is praised in the 7th-century Tevaram, so the shrine is counted among the Paadal Petra Sthalams. It is regarded as a twin of the Marundeeswarar temple in the same village. The complex covers about two acres, with the temple tank lying diagonally outside the main gateway.
