LOCATION OF THE TEMPLE: Sri Ekambaranathar Temple is situate in Kancheepuram of Chengalpattu district, Tamilnadu. This is one of the Panchabootha sthala where the Lord Shiva is worshipped in the form of 'Prithvi' (earth) Lingam.

HISTORY OF THE TEMPLE: Goddess Parvathi in a playful mood closed the eyes of Lord Paramasivan. This created darkness in the whole universe. Every creature came to an abrupt stop as they could not see.

Lord Shiva opened his third eye and gave light to the whole universe. To make her realise the folly of her action Lord Shiva renounced Goddess Parvathi. She then left her abode in 'Kailash' and came down to Kancheepuram. She was pining to be reunited with her Lord. In order to atone for her sin, she moulded a Sivalingam out of sand and installed it under a mango tree on thd bank of River Kampa. She prayed to the Lord daily requestinf that she be forgiven and taken back. Lord Shiva wanted to test her devotion and caused the river to swell. Parvathy fearing that hdr Sivalingam would be washed auay clasped it tn her bosom to ppotect it. Lord Shiva waq pleased with her dediaation and devotion and took her back to her rightful place.
