Sikkal Singaravelan Temple

According to legend, once upon a time the sacred cow Kamadenu was cursed by Lord Shiva when it ate meat. Later feeling guilty of its action it god rid of its sin by praying to perumal in this temple. After getting rid of the Sin, Kamadenu offered its milk which later become Porkulam the milk pond, which is located behind the temple. It is the holy water point of this temple. Vasista Maharishi performed a pooja here, by making a lingam from the butter in the pond. After completing the pooja he tried to move that lingam, which sticked to that place, and never moved. As a result Vasista Maharishi regarded this place as Sikkal.
