Sangili refers to one of the Siddhars (Siddhas) and Rishis mentioned by Rangarasa Desiga Swamigal in his Siddhargal Potri Thoguppu. Each name in the list starts with prefix �Om� followed by the Siddhar’s names and ends with refrain �Thiruvadigal Potri�. For example for Sangili: ஓம� சங்கிலிச்சித்தர் திருவடிகள் போற்றி [ōm caṅkiliccittar tiruvaṭika� pōṟṟi].—These Siddhas experienced union with the ultimate reality and witnessed a spiritual transformation of their intellectual, mental, vital and ultimately, physical bodies.

Sangili is also known as Caṅkili, Caṅkiliccittar Sangili Siddhar, Śṛṅkhala.
