About Chidambaram
Chidambaram is 250 Kms south of Chennai. This is a medium sized town with all facilities. The value of the town is enhanced not only by the temple but also by the (Annamalai) University. The people in the town (and near abouts) are lucky in the sense that it is rather unique to have all the departments of stuty upto doctorate level in the Annamalai University, nearby Chidambaram. In Tamil, the word "Temple" refers only to Chidambaram Nataraja Temple. Others are temples too, but this "the" Temple.
