It is believed that Moksha is certain for those who stays for just 1 kadigai (24 minutes) at this place. Saptarishis desirous of having darshan of Nrisimha performed Tapas here and were rewarded within one kadigai. Hence this Kshetra is called Kadikachalam and Tirukadigai. Vishwamitra obtained the title of Brahmarishi when he worshipped Lord Nrisimha here for a kadigai. On the hillock nearby is the Sannidhi of Karudaruda Varadaraja. This is an important prathana sthala. People come here for warding off evil spirits.

This Kshetra is about 14 kms from Sholinghur railway station on the Chennai Bangalore route, but is more easliy approachable by road from Arakonam or Madras.
