Chandra Theertham is a temple tank located in the historic town of Karaikal in Southeastern India. It serves as a sacred water source for the nearby temples of Karaikal Ammayar, Nithyakalyana Perumal, and Kailasanathar.
The Karaikal Float Festival, known as Theppam or Theppotsavam, is celebrated in this temple tank.
The people of Karaikal believe that bathing once in this temple tank can cure all bone-related diseases and fractures. The Chandra Theertham underwent extensive cleaning, with the work completed in 2010.
The Karaikal Floating Festival was held in 2010 after a gap of 30 years, thanks to the efforts of the local MLA and former Health Minister, Mr. A.M.H. Nazeem.
