Abstract (Original Language): 
Thiruvalangadu is one of the thirty eight Saivite sthalams in Tamil Nadu. It is also called as Vadavanam and Vata Aranyam which is at a distance of sixty four kilometres from Chennai in the Chennai-Tiruvallore - Arakkonam road, or by train but the alighting point is about five kilometers from the village passenger trains and suburban trains half at this station bearing the name of the village1. The name 'Thiruvalangadu' might perhaps be derived from the words 'Alam' and 'Kadu' former in Tamil means 'Banyan tree' while the latter word refers to 'forest' and as it was customary to affix Thiru especially to a religious centre, 'Thiru' was affixed to Thiruvalangadu2. . This place was therefore, a forest of banyan trees.
