Padagacheri Ramalinga Swamigal

Padagacheri is a beautiful village on the banks of river Vettar situated in south of Kumbakonam (Tamil Nadu) between Valangaiman and Needamangalam. One has to walk 2 kms from the main road as there is no bus facility. The road is narrow and gets sandwiched between river(vettaru-cut from Amaravathi) and lillyponds. This is the place where Padagacheri Ramalinga Swamigal had stayed and meditated. Swamigal had come from Coimbatore and spend most of his time in Padagacheri serving people and doing different kind of penance there. His gurus are believed to be from the Himalayas and Arut prakasa Vallalar. The place is extremely serene and ideal for one who wants to detach himself for few days from these rushy places.
