Sacred Delta Heritage

The Spiritual Epicenter of Lord Shiva in Tamil Nadu

The Paadal Petra Sthalams are the 276 revered Shiva temples praised in the 7th to 9th-century Thevaram hymns by the three great Nayanmar saints: Thirugnanasambandar, Appar (Thirunavukkarasar), and Sundarar.

Over 190 of these sacred shrines are situated in the Cauvery river delta, right around Mayiladuthurai, Sirkazhi, Kumbakonam, Thiruvarur, and Chidambaram. Many of these temples sit in peaceful agrarian villages where public transport is sparse. A private cab with an experienced local chauffeur is the most comfortable and peaceful way to complete your yatra.
