The teradi at Nallur Temple, in which the tall chariot is stored and where Chellappaswami often lived. Inset: the teradi’s enclosed chamber where Chellappaswami stood and shook the bars when Yogaswami first was immersed in the light. A woman worships the bilva tree under which Chellappaswami ate and meditated. Sketches of Chellappaswami and Kadaitswami made by their own devotees. Kadaitswami’s samadhi temple. Insets: yellow pillars inside the temple, with the Sivalingam under which Kadaitswami’s body is interred in a crypt; bronze image of Kadaitswami with his trademark umbrella.§
