Kakkalur is a suburb of Tiruvallur Town. Kakkalur has a few Shiva and Vaishnavaite Temples. Sri Yoga Gnana Dhakshinmaoorthy Temple located in Kakkalur is very unique since it is one of the rare Temples in the whole of India wherein Sri Dhakshinamoorthy is the Presiding Deity. This Temple is also known as Guru Kottam. In this Temple the Presiding Deity of Yoga Gnana Dhakshinamoorthy portrays Himself as a Guru or Teacher of Wisdom, Yoga and Music. Hence the number of Devotees espicially kids and youths turn up in great numbers to seek His Blessings. The Presiding Deity is Sri Dhakshnamoorthy since He is facing Dhakshin in Sanskrit or Southwards. Some may differ in this view and would say that Dhakshinya is kindness in Sanskrit or in other words Dhakshinamoorthy means Karunamoorthy. In the Sanctum Sanctorum Sri Yoga Dhakshinamoorthy is seen Nine Feet tall and strangely opposite to Him is an Eight Feet tall Idol of Saneeswara Bhagwan. Sri Yoga Gnana Dhakshinamoorthy seems to rest one leg on the ground whereas His other leg is folded. He is seen with four arms. His upper right hand carries a Akashamala while His upper left hand carries Fire. His lower right hand shows Gnanamudhra whereas His lower left hand shows Abhyamudhra.
