(The area around the place where we see the Nithyakalyani Ambal temple   at kadayam( temple town 40 km from Tirunelveli  of Tamil Nadu)   now, was once upon a time, a "Bilwa" tree forest. The legend goes on like this: The King of Ayodhya Sree Dasaratha Maharaja was moving through the length and breadth of Bharath and praying at almost all the temples spotted by Him for getting his progeny. Thus he chanced upon the "Bilwa" forest in Kadayam, and while moving into the forest, he found a "Suyambu Lingam" and prayed to Lord Shiva. Thus this Lord was named as "Bilwa Vana Nathar" i.e. Lord of Bilwa forest. This name over a period of time became Sree Vilvaranyeswarar and his consort Nithya Kalyani Amman. There are stone inscriptions, which say that Nayakar's of Madurai developed the temple. Vilva tree is sthala vruksham and theertham is Chakkra theertham, around three hundred years old. If one breaks the Vilva fruit from the sthala vruksham, one can find a Lingam shaped formation inside, which cannot be seen in any other Vilva fruit. The temple is one of the Thevaara Vaippu Sthalam of Lord Siva. The main Raja Gopuram is seven storeys with three prakarams. It is said that the Peetam is a Dharani Peetam. )
