Thirukkadaiyur is a temple town on the east coast of Tamil Nadu situated in Nagapattinam district, close to Karaikal. This is the place Lord Shiva bestowed immortality to Sri Markandeya (rishi/sage). The original temple Thirukkadaiyur Mayanam now called Thirumeignanam built in 11th Century AD was ravaged by sea and is in ruins now. One other temple with an identical plan was built and is now visited by people praying for long life. The boy named Markandeya (ancient rishi/sage from Hindu tradition) grew up to be an ardent devotee of Shiva. Yama (the lord of death) tried to snatch the life of the boy. Markandeya went to the temple and clutched at the Shiva Lingam in a bid to escape death.
