Introduction

From Thiruvarur, take a bus to Nannilam via Selvapuram. There is a large pond in front of the Shiva Temple. It is not a small temple, it has many specialties. The name of the town is Jambukaranyeswarar as the town was a grove of Navarkani. The name Akilandeswari is due to the fact that the Lord has ruled this universe since half. There is a small beautiful Ganesha in the south-west of the prakaram. Murugan is with his consort, otherwise there are no idols in the prakaram or the sanctum sanctorum. The Nandi Home opposite the Lord is outside the hall. It has been many years since the temple was demolished and cracks have started falling here and there. The temple is under the control of the Department of Hindu Religious Affairs.

Puranic Significance

Ambika who lives here who does not give the mental energy to encourage this, She is Akilandeswari. And she is the one who gives determination to the women who are disciplined in the home. Shiva killed Viruthasurana with a wheelbarrow at Virgudi, this town is next to Pathiniyal Puram. This, Jalandhar’s wife Brinda is a very pious and decent woman. Due to his devotion and discipline, Jalandhasura could not take his own life. Jalandhar’s life oscillated between life and death. So, Mahavishnu did a trick to take his life and took his life. Seeing this, Brinda was devastated. When she separated from her husband, she cursed that Vishnu should also experience the mental pain that occurred. So Mahavishnu also took the incarnation of Rama and had to separate from his wife due to the curse. During the time he had to leave the country for the forest, Rama also suffered from the separation of Sita in the incarnation of Rama. Thus, the place where Brinda lived as a woman of devotion and morality is today the town known as Pathiniyalpuram.
