Kallidayam / Kalladai-kalam
Inguinal and root-of-scrotum point — padu-varmam
Kallidayam or Kalladai-kalam is a padu-varmam of the groin and pelvic-root field, with modern anatomical descriptions placing a variant at the root of the scrotum. It is rendered on the midline as an inguinal-region marker because a front silhouette cannot express the perineal depth or sex-specific variation of the teaching.
