Introduction

It is a fact of history that rivers are the cradle of civilization. Thus there is sample evidence of the emergence and growth of civilization on the banks of the Kavirik in the Chola land. Similarly, on the banks of the river Kollidam, which serves as a drain to divert the floods from the Cauvery, there has been an isolated civilization where coastal people on both sides have worshiped the Vedic deities. Over time, many sites have been eroded by floods, and from time to time deities are found and then placed elsewhere to be worshiped. We can find such a linga idol in Thiyagarajapuram. Thilagarajapuram can be reached by going 3 km west on the south bank on the south side of the village. There is no such thing as a temple today, no such thing as concubine deities, attendant deities. Being single lingam. It has a beautiful square shape, dating back to the sixth century. He can be called Pratyaksha Parameswarar as he did not come out again to protect the monitor. Ancient deities are the ones who give us life in the hereafter.
