According to legend, Planet Mars was once afflicted with leprosy and was cured by Vaidyanatha Swamy and from then on, it is treated as Angaraka sthalam. Vaitheeswaran Koil is one of the Nav(Nine)graha (Planets) Sthalam (Place) dedicated to Angarakan (Mars). Main Entrance Gopuramįirst, visited the Vaitheeswaran Koil, reaching by 08:30 AM. Since, I thought of having the Breakfast on the way, he requested me to hold on till we reach Mayiladuthurai, because, it is a major town and options for Breakfast was good. He turned out to be very polite and helpful guy. I preferred private vehicle for this route, because opting for bus meant carrying Luggage (9 days) around, which would have caused lots of discomfort. I decided to drop Thirukkaidyur, since it was off the route and asked the quote only for Vaitheeswaran Koil & Mayiladuthurai (since, both were on the way to Kumbakonam) and further drop at the Mayiladuthurai Bus Stand. I was not sure about spending so much for this short half day trip. Previous night, I had called up a travel and tours owner enquiring about Car from Chidambaram to Vaitheeswaram Koil to Thirukkudaiyur to Mayuduthutai to Kumbakonam. I left the hotel at Chidambaram, early morning by 07:30 am.
