Introduction

Thanjavur District Thiruppanandal- This place is located at a distance of 5 km from Thiruppanandal on the Manalmedu bus route. The Pallavas are adept at setting up the temple. There are many temples built by them in Tamil Nadu. It is true that they still speak of the glory of the Pallava kings during the reign of Mamannan Mahendra Varman (600-630 AD). His philanthropy and temple work were greatly appreciated by the people. The king wanted to build a temple for Varadaraja Perumal and settled the best sellers of the four Vedas in one place. He named the place where he settled Avanimanikkam. He built a temple to Varadaraja Perumal in that town. Over time, the name Avani Manikkam changed to Keezhattoor. The Varadharajaperumal Temple in Keelakattoor is a temple built by Mahendra Varman many centuries ago. The temple is located towards the east. In front of the temple, Karutadhar gives blessings in a separate hall.
