Thiruvalangadu, north of Madras, is associated with the dance contest between Lord Shiva and his consort in the form of Kali.
According to legend Lord Shiva danced vigorously,and to subdue Kali , threw up his leg in the rhythm of the dance. Being a lady Kali could not repeat this feat and stood dismayed.
This dance and the subjugation of Kali, are described in the hymns of the female saint-poet Karaikkal Ammai.
