The Othandeswarar temple in Thirumazhisai is an 11th-century Chola period temple, built by Kulothunga Cholan. There is a legend associated with the temple.
According to the legend, the king was returning home after a hunt near Thriumullaivasal when his path was obstructed by a thick vine. He cut through the vine with his sword, only to find blood oozing from the thicket. Upon closer examination, he discovered that he had accidentally slashed a Shiva lingam. Realizing his mistake, he cut off his hand to expiate the sin and offered it to the lingam. In response to his devotion, Shiva appeared to him with Parvati, restored his hand, and blessed him.
The Lord is also known as Kai Thantha Piran, while the Goddess is known as Kulirvitha Nayagi.
The temple is situated right on the Chennai-Thiruttani road about 25 km from the city.
