 Greatness Of Temple:
     
  This is the place worshipped by Sun God. In the outer paved corridor are the sanctum of Lord Vinayaka and Arumuga. Nearer to this are the three sacred Palm trees. The sanctum of Goddess is also east facing, the Goddess in the standing posture. Women gate-securities are in mortar-structure. After worshipping Dwara Ganapati and Dhandapani, we can go in and worship Sathyambigai. We can reach the sanctum of the Lord after worshipping the Navagrahas, going around and then paying obeisances to the Flag-post. In the inner paved corridor are the sanctum of Vinayaka, Arumuga, Sani Bhagawan, Navagrahas, Sun, the 63 Nayanmar, Saptamaathas, Lord on the Rishaba vahana, Tirumal, Gajalakshmi, Naalvar, Bhikshaatanar, Dakshinamurthi, Brahma, Linghotbavar, Durga, Chantikeswarar, Nataraja, and Somaskandar. There is a rare image of Tiruneelakantar with his wife, both holding together the staff and praying with joined palms. This is one of the five holy places which have Palm tree as Sacred tree. To distinguish it from the other holy places, this was named ‘Puravaar Panangaatoor’ since it was surrounded by thick woods (puravu: grove, wood / forest).As this holy place was enclosed by the woods of Mullai region, the place is called ‘Puravaar Panangaatoor’. In order to protect the pigeon that surrendered to him Sibi Chakravarthi came forward to yield his eyes. The Lord appreciating his duteous mind, graced the king in return, his lost eyes. Hence, the Lord of this place came to be known as ‘kanparitthu aruliya katavul’.
  
     
  Temple History:
     
  Daksha abusing Lord Siva performed a yagna. All the devas who attended the yagna and took the yagna-food (avirbhaagam), became the butt of Lord Siva’s fury. As dictated by Lord Siva, Aghora Veerabhadrar went to Daksha’s yagna-hall and punished all the devas. The Sun lost his lustre because of the punishment. Regretting this unpardonable mistake, he went to several holy places, worshipped Lord Siva, prayed to Him with all earnestness and got restored his old bright form that gave light to the entire world. ‘Puravaar Panangaatoor’ is one of the sacred places where the Sun worshipped Lord Siva.
