We have already given a brief description of this temple in our earlier blog Kanchi Ekambareshwarar Kovil. This temple covers an area of about 40 acres and is about 2000 years old. It is also one of the Pancha Bhuta Sthalams representing the element earth (Prithvi). The main deity is Lord Shiva and it is a swayambhu linga also known as Prithvi Linga. There is no separate shrine for Goddess Parvati. She is known as Sri Kamakshi. There is no shrine for Goddess Parvati in any of the shiva temples in Kanchipuram as she is considered as the Rajarajeshwari - queen of queens in Kanchipuram. The temple was revered by four shaiva saints - Appar, Sundarar, Sambandhar, Manikavachagar.
Temple address: Arulmigu Ekambareswarar Temple, Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu, 631502
