Introduction

Melayiur is 19 KM from Mayiladuthurai on the poompuhar Rd The temple is in a terrible state

Puranic Significance

Lord facing east – Agathiswarar. Goddess – Akilandeswari has a temple facing south. There is a long front hall before the Lord. On top of that the Lord appears as Rishabharu. Spread with brick accordingly. Due to lack of maintenance the plants have started to grow beyond the ground. There are no barn lines. The family should take possession of both templesThe festival has been going on for about forty-four years to commemorate the ascension of Kannaki to Pannikottam by Farm Ramalingam Pillai in Poompuhar Melaiyur and his ascension to the sky in the month of August under the star Anusham. I want the Dasil farm family to try to get the temple back under their management. “With the kind permission of Sri Kadambur K. Vijayan, these are extracted from his posts”.
