Hi malai koil in kachur is not paadal petrathu. sundarar mentions it when he sings about aalakkachur malai mel marunthE maravEn adiyEn vayal soolntha aala kalni pazanakkachur aalakkoil ammaanE
any way beautiful temple on hiltop. the motorable road leads to the temple even before you realise it.
5 of our members- sathish and his mother, swetha, muruganandam and nadarajan srinivasan made a trip to this temple along with chettipunyam, chingelpet fort, thirusoolam etc.
it was nice hunting for kalvettus in the temple. it should be noted here that while muruganandam and i could trace a edict of rajaraja each poor sathish could only find a kalvettu of one gopaladeva naicker a local chieftan who called himself thirubuvana chakravarthi. i have plans of visiting the temple on sivarathri. venketesh

Hi in kachur on the hill top they have a beautiful well. a masterpiece of a construction where a stair starts well off and one can walk up to the water level.
i always had a doubt from kindergarden on how a well could be on a hill and thought jack and jil were on the wrong route to quench their thirst but seeing the water in this well i realised hydro geology like gods ways are often not understood by mortals.
