Sikkal Singaravelan Temple - Sikkal

 History

This temple is older than 1000 years. As per Thala purana this place is where sage Vashistar had his ashram. He worshiped the Lord Shiva daily. At that time Kamadenu ( a holy cow) have come down to earth due to some curse. Kamadenu took bath in one of the tanks here and it allowed its milk to get mixed with water. Hence the water tank becomes full of milk. Sage Vashistar made a Linga made up of butter using that milk and worshipped. After completing his prayer he tried to take the Linga out of his hand and he couldn’t. So the place is called as Sikkal as per another mythological story. Here the Lord Shiva is called ‘Thiru Vennai Nathar’ (vennai means butter) as he was made up of butter.
