Sri Kanthazheeswarar Temple / ஸ்ரீ காந்தழீஸ்வரர் கோயில், குன்றத்தூர், Kundrathur ( Chennai Metropoliton area ), Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu.

During the Uzhavaram at Sri Nageswara Swamy Temple, Kundrathur, tried to worship Sri Uraga Perumal.  The temple was not opened as per the scheduled time of 07.00 Hrs. Don’t want wait to open since I have to report for Uzhavaram at Sri Nageswarar temple.  On seeing the board  of the Shiva temple opposite to Sekkizhar temple arch, thought of Worshiping Sr Kanthazheeswarar. On the board it was written as Sekkizhar worshiped Lord Shiva of this temple.
