  1. hello,
    I hear long back that there is a temple near Kaveri Pakkam where pariharams are being performed for those people who are afflicted with spirits, witchcrafts, possessions of demons and negative casts on human beings. Tis is being done exclusively on Amavasya. The details and location of this temple is kept a secret as most people would not like to reveal thinking that the spirit would jeopardize their journey to this place. I am told that these possessed spirits on a person are invoked and they are spoken, and finally burnt with Kerosine to give liberation. That is all I know.

    Can you please let me know this place, details, how to reach and other knowledgeable information please.
