Puranic Significance

Vanavanmadevi the wife of Sundara Chola and mother of Rajaraja Chola built 108 Shiva temples. Lord Siva came in the dream of Vananvanmadevi and informed her that He enjoyed her worship. And urged her to build a temple for him. The king and VanavanMadhavi immediately reached the place and saw HIM as the newly emerged Shivalinga . But to the great grief of the King the Linga had THREE LINES as if it was broken in Three palaces. Lord Siva answered in a dream to Vanavanmadevi that These are the lines that appear spontaneously. Not an injury that appeared from the outside. As this Shivalinga Lord spreads out from within, the grace of grace will spread.The three lines represent Brahma Vishnu and Siva. Also Rik Yajur and Sama Vedas and three qualities. The construction work of the temple was started and the baked bricks were raised to a magnificent height. The Rajaraja Chola was born as inspired by Eisner.The consecration took place. It is one of the 108 Shiva temples built by VanavanMatheviyar. Devotees will shed tears of blood when they see the present day story of this temple which witnessed the appearance of Lord Shiva as a witness to devotion to Lord Shiva on that day. Today, only the dilapidated Nandi Mandapam is a testament to the ancient temple of Isan, which bears many blessings. Today, the entire temple is a sand dune, which was visited by people from all walks of life and was enjoyed by kings and spiritual dignitaries. Today, the temple is in a state of total disrepair. A shed cover all the idols of this Great Temple .. The are kept for protection at another temple nearby. There is more urgent to rebuild the temple
