Sorketan koil


I saw this beautiful but discarded temple at Kottaiyur in the outskirts of Karaikudi. A new temple had been built nearby and hence this old one's being neglected. Its called the 'Sorketan Temple' (Sol-ketan)...Like most temples, this too has lot of superstitious stories running...Rumor has it that its not good for pregnant women to visit this temple and its not good to visit this temple at certain times of the day.
