Shiva Shuts All Mouths....There is a Place known as 'Keezhakkarai' (pronounced as 'Keelakarai' by many) in Ramanathapuram Dist. of Tamil Nadu.
It is a Small Sea Shore Town. There're some Muslim Settlers in the Town, right from the 8th Century, said to be of Arabic Descent,

A Special Sannidhi was Built to house the Holy Idol,

On this Sacred Arudhra Star Day it was opened. Watch the Holy Emerald Idol, that is said to be worth a few thousand Crores.
