AN ANCIENT TEMPLE OF BRIGUNATHAR IN TAMILNADU





 The Divya Kshetram   TIRUKKANDIYUR is located around 2 kms from Tiruvaiyaru in Tamil Nadu. This place is considered to be one of the saptastanams of the panchanadiswarar temples at Tiruvaiyaru.

The presiding deity is Hara Saapavimochana perumal also known as Brigunathar, in a standing posture. The Goddess is kamalavalli.

The sacred water is kapalamoksha pushkarani, and the sanctum sanctorum is Kamalaakrithi Vimanam.

The legend says that the fifth head of Brahma plucked out by  Lord Siva got stuck to his palms and it got unstuck only after Lord Vishnu and Mahalakshmi offered alms into the stuck head, and hence the Presiding deity is called Hara Saapa Vimochana Perumal.
