History & tradition
Thirumakaraleeswarar Temple, also called the Thirumagaral temple, is in Magaral, a village in the Kanchipuram district of Tamil Nadu. Shiva is worshipped here as Thirumakaraleeswarar in the form of a lingam, and Parvati as Tribuvananayagi. The deity is praised in the 7th-century Tevaram hymns of the Nayanmars, so the shrine is counted among the Paadal Petra Sthalams of the Shaiva tradition in Tamil Nadu.
