Introduction

The east facing temple has no tower, the Appar sang Vaipu sthalam. 1400year old site. Because W. Saminathayar has said that Kuilalandurai and Karunguil Nathan Pettai are one and the same. It can be considered as the Vaipu Sthalam temple. The car park behind the large four-acre temple is in ruins and belongs to the Dharmapuram monastery. It has been over forty years since the canopy was found. Large numbers of people do not come to the temple. “With the kind permission of Sri Kadambur K. Vijayan, these are extracted from his posts”.

Puranic Significance

In Thiruppariyalur, Dakshina, a Shiva devotee, performed a yajna. Dakshina, who had called all the gods, insulted Eesan without calling him. He also insulted his mother. So anger was born to Lord Shiva. Veerapathir appeared from his forehead. Veerapathira went to Dakshina and said, “Give our Lord Shiva, the leader of Velvi, and do not perish in vain.” The fierce warrior began to destroy the sacrifice. The gods began to run. In this incident, when Indra escaped, he chewed and took the form of a quill and flew away. Then he realized his mistake and regretted it. The aviyunta pavantheera given by Sivanindaka went to many places and worshiped. But he could not get back to his old self. Then the goddess Viyalan said, “One day east of Mayuram, you too will worship the head lord worshiped by Maheshwari and receive grace.”

Beliefs

Although Sun and Saturn have a father-son relationship, they are astrologically two hostile planets. If Sun and Saturn are aligned together in one’s horoscope, father and son will not be in the same house. Astrology says that those born in the month of Chittirai, Audi and Ippasi will also suffer from Pitrudosha. The system is designed to remedy such a problem.

Special Features

Vannimaram is a special tree near the tall villow tree. This tree is 1,000 years old. There are no Navagrahas in this temple. If you come to climb this Vanni tree, there is the benefit of worshiping the Navagrahas. Nine times to come back and worship is special. In the Northeast, Kalabhairava is blessed as he is in Kasi. It is unique in that the two hostile planets Sun and Saturn stand side by side and face west.
