In this small City of Tirukkalikundram we have also a very ancient lake, by the name of shanku Tirtha. It said that Markandeya Rishi did penance here and got blessed by Lord Vishnu to recieve a very precious Conch for his worship here from this tank.
Every 12 years from that time onwards another Conch appear on the surface. The priest will get a certain dream on what place he can find this conch, as the lake is huge.
Inside the Shiva Parvathi Temple one can see for 4 rupies the last 5 conches with their dates written on them when they have found them. The rest of hundred of conch's are well preserved inside one big safe, and only once in a year they will open this and show all the conch's to the public.
