• Chandra Sthalam Thingalur (Kailasanthar) Temple - Situated in the tranquil village of Thingalur, the Kailasanathar Temple is the revered home of Lord Chandra (the Moon). This historic sanctuary is a key part of the one-day Navagraha pilgrimage, drawing visitors in search of mental peace and emotional balance. Legend has it that the Moon God worshipped Lord Shiva here to restore his radiance. In Hindu astrology, Chandra influences the mind and emotions; therefore, visiting this temple is believed to reduce stress, anxiety, and “Chandra Dosha.” The temple is especially lively on Full Moon (Pournami) days and Mondays. Devotees often present white flowers, white cloth, and raw rice mixed with jaggery to please the lunar deity. The atmosphere is filled with devotion as pilgrims perform Abhishekam with milk, seeking blessings for their children’s well-being and domestic harmony.

The presiding deity, Lord Shiva, is revered as Abathsahayeswarar, the savior who consumed poison during the cosmic ocean churning. However, the main focus for pilgrims is the shrine of Dakshinamurthy, where Jupiter is worshipped with yellow flowers and chickpeas (Garbanzo beans). Thursdays are particularly busy here, as devotees believe that worshipping Guru on his auspicious day brings immediate relief from financial difficulties and marriage delays.

Worshipping here during Rahu Kaalam (an auspicious time of day) is believed to protect devotees from the “evil eye,” poisonous bites, and the harmful effects of Sarpa Dosha.
