HISTORY AND INSCRIPTIONSAs per the construction style of the present temple, the
temple might have been constructed
during Vijayanagara period ie 15th to 16th Century. But
the temple claims that it is more than 1000 years old. This place was called as
Tirupedavur during ancient times.
LEGENDSThis Legend is associated with Lingothbavar. Maha Vishnu and
Brahma had an argument regarding who is great. To decide, Lord Shiva gave a
solution. Who ever found out the start and end of Lord Shiva will be greatest.
Lord Shiva stood in the form of Column of fire. Brahma flew to top in the form
of an anna bird and Maha Vishnu took the form of Varaha, went down. Maha Vishnu
accepted his defeat and Brahma lied by saying he had seen the top of Lord
Shiva by showing a Thazhampoo as a
proof. Lord Shiva cursed Brahma that he should not have any temples. To get rid
of the curse Brahma installed 12 Shiva Lingas and worshiped. This Shiva Linga
is one of the 12 ( Dwadhasa ) Shiva Lingas. Hence Lord Shiva is called as Sri
Brahmapureeswarar.
In another legend,
Brahma with the 5 heads the creator of this universe, over proud of his
powers and behaves that he is more powerful Than Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva plucked
the fifth head and made him to be powerless. Realized his mistake, prayed to
Lord Shiva to pardon him. As advised, Brahma came to this place Thirpattur
installed 12 ( Dwadasa Lingas ) Shiva Lingas and worshiped him. Satisfied his
worship Lord Shiva gave back his powers of creation.
Devotees worships Brahma, whose bad destines to change for
good, people with lesser sins will be corrected, attack of decease will change,
pregnant woman will get normal delivery without surgeries, to avoid waste
expenses, a student habitually failing will shine.
It is believed that Patanjali munivar attained jeeva Samadhi
in 10 places and this is one them and his jeeva Samadhi is in this temple. It
is believed that he is still preaching Yoga sutras.
It is also believed that Suryan also worshiped Lord Shiva of
