A WELL KNOWN ROCKCUT TEMPLE IN TAMILNADU

 






 The divyakshetram TIRUMAYAM is located between Karaikudi and Pudukkotai in Tamil Nadu. The presiding deity is Satyagirinathan in a standing posture. The Goddess is Uyyavanda Nachiyar. The sacred water is Kadambapushkarini and the sanctum sanctorum is Satyagiri Vimanam.

There is  also a deity of Satyagirinathan in a  reclining posture surroundded by Garuda, Markandeya and Brahma in a rockcut temple closeby. It is believed that Adisesha  emitted poisonous fumes to frighten the Demons who tried to steal the image of the Lord at this Kshetram.
