Holy Water (Theertham) – No information
Sacred Tree (Sthala Vriksham) – Vilwam (Aegle marmelos)
The temple was given as a gift (Dhaanam) to the Vaishnavites and hence the name of the village is Dhaamal.
Damodarar Dhaamal has the connection with Mother Yashoda tying up little Krishna to a stone to prevent him from stealing butter. The deity has the marks of the rope on him, seen during Samprokshanam.
Damodarar Dhaamal is inside the village of Dhaamal which is about 13 kilometers from Kancheepuram towards Arcot on the Chennai – Bangalore highway.
