Temple:
This temple was built in 4.00 Acre land, with two pragarams and three tier Kopuram (Tower) facing south. The deity is facing east. Ambal is facing the east on the right side of Swamy in a separate Shrine. All parivara Murthys are there. There are 16 ( ஷோடச ) Vinayagar in one place before entering the Swamy sannithi. This is one of the specialities of this temple.
Moolavar is a suyambulingam appears on a square peedam in the sanctum sanctorum with a scar on the head, slightly leaning on the left side. Poojas and Abishekams are performed without touching the deity. The Moolavar is untouchable. The Sri Chakra, installed by Sri Adi Sankara is in the Artha Mandapa. The Linga was found in the bamboo jungle, the Lord is named Pasura Nathar – Pasu-Bamboo. As Lord Shiva removed evils of Perumal, He is praised as “Perumal Vinai Theertha Easwara” gracing from a separate shrine. As Siva came as a snake charmer to save the Chozha king. Hence the Moolavar also called as Pampatti Sithar (பாம்பாட்டி சித்தர்) .
STHALA PURANAM:
Mother Parvathi had to be born again on earth as cursed by Lord Siva as she attended the Yagna of her father Dakshan against Lord Siva’s wish. She came to this place and performed severe penance to join Lord Siva again. Lord Siva appeared and blessed her here saying “Oh! My Sweetheart.” Hence, Mother is named Than Kathali (தம்காதலி)– My Sweetheart. People pray to Mother for conjugal unity. The place is also called Thankathalipuram after the name of Mother.
Once demons Madhu and Kaidaba stole the Vedas from Brahmma and hid them under the deep sea. Brahmma could not continue his creation work in the absence of the Vedas. Lord Vishnu came to his rescue, took the Matsya –fish avathar, went deep into sea, recovered the Vedas and killed the demons. The killing left their evil marks on Lord Vishnu who prayed to Lord Shiva for a remedy. Lord Shiva advised to worship Him in this place for removal of evil effects. Vishnu followed the advice and on getting relieved from his sins he stayed in Thiruvallur. Hence the moolavar also called as “Perumal Vinai Theertha Easwara”
The region was once a dense forest of bamboo trees. the cows grazing here were pouring its milk on a particular place. Noticing this, the shepherd informed the Chozha king. As instructed by the king, his men dug he place with a tool called Vasi. Seeing blood oozing from there, they were shocked and informed the king. The King came to this place and stayed here. On hearing this king’s enemies (Few Jains) came there and gave him a pot containing a highly poisonous snake to kill the king. Before the king opened the pot, a snake charmer came there and caught the snake in it and went away. Lord Shiva appeared in his dream and said that he was the snake charmer and directed him to build a temple in the bamboo forest. The temple thus came into being.
