Thirukadaiyur

Thirukadaiyur is a temple in Tamil Nadu, India. It is the place where Lord Shiva protected Markandeya from Yama (Lord of Death) when he was about to take the boy to hell. Hence, this temple is supposed to give long life to couples beyond 60 or 80. A brahmin function called Sashtiaptha poorthi is celebrated when the husband reaches 60 and Sadhabishegam when he reaches 80.
