Sri Dharmapureeswarar Temple, Pazhayarai Vada thali / Muzhaiyur, Thanjavur District, Tamil Nadu

...a Continuation post. 
 26th September 2016.
141/ 24. SRI DHARMAPUREESWARAR TEMPLE, PAZHAIYARAI VADATHALI

 
This is the 141st Devaram Paadal Petra Shiva Sthalam and 24th sthalam on the south side of river Kaveri. Appar has sung hymns in praise of Lord Shiva of this temple.

This temple is at Muzhaiyur.  During my earlier visits, the temple was closed, but this time  Lord Shiva gave us darshan. There are lot of confusions about the Paadal Petra Sthalam at Pazhaiyarai, since the Pazhayarai Village has 4 temples on all 4 directions, via Kheel thali, Mel thali, Vada thali and Then thali. I thought previously this is one of the thevara Vaippu sthalam. After visiting this temple I understood that this is the Paadal Petra Sthalam.


Moolavar    : Sri Dharmapureeswarar.
Consort      : Sri Gnanambigai

Some of the important features of this temple are....
The temple facing east with a small Rajagopuram after the Rajagopuram. This is a mada type of temple with steps on east side. Amar Neethi nayanar with his wife sculptures on the side wall of steps.
