The Jalakandeswarar Temple lies within the Vellore fort and
is dedicated to Shiva. A story of the temple began with King Nayaka of the
Vijaynagar dynasty having a dream that Lord Shiva told him to place a lingam on
a giant ant-hill which was surrounded by a collection of water. The name Jalakandeswarar
Temple comes from the word “Jalam” (water in Tamil) and translated as Lord Shiva residing in the water.
