By Today we can these places are Below:

  1. Kumbesam is the place where the base of the pot stayed, and came to be the Aadi Kumbeswarar temple. Interestingly, the moolavar Lingam at this temple is shaped a little like a pot.
  2. The string (Sikkam or Uri) around the kalasam landed nearby, a little to the east, along with another shard of the pot. Later, Chandran worshipped here, because of which this place is revered as the Someswarar temple.
  3. The vilvam fell a little to the south, and is the Nageswarar temple.
  4. The coconut on top of the kalasam fell east of the Mahamaham tank, and is the site of the Abhi Mukheswarar temple.
  5. The sacred thread in the kalasam fell at what is the Gautameswarar temple.
  6. The part containing the mouth of the kalasam fell at the place we call Kudavasal (vasal or voil stands for mouth or entrance, in Tamil), site of the Koneswarar temple.
  7. The mid-portion of the kalasam fell a little southeast of Kumbakonam, at Kalayanallur (or Kalasanallur, the old name of Sakkottai), where the Amirtakadeswarar (or Amrita Kalasa Nathar) temple is located.
  8. The flowers adorning the kalasam fell south-west of Kumbakonam, at a place that came to be called Malathivanam. This is the location of present-day Adi Kambatta Viswanathar temple.
  9. Banathurai is where Siva stood with his bow and arrow (banam) and broke the pot open, which is the location of the Banapureeswarar temple.
  10. The chandanam adorning the kalasam fell a little north of Banathurai, at where the Srikalahasteeswarar temple is situated.
  11. The various other decorations fell close to the Nageswarar temple, and is today the Ekambareswarar temple.
  12. Finally, some residual drops of the nectar that flew out, fell west of Kumbakonam, which is where the Kottaiyur Koteeswarar temple is located.
Of these, the Abhi Mukheeswarar, Gautameswarar, and Ekambareswarar temples are located in the immediate vicinity of the Mahamaham tank, as is the Kasi Viswanathar temple, also associated with the Mahamaham kulam.
