Temple History: |  |
|
|
|
|
In his Mangalasasanam, Tirumangai Azhwar had specifically mentioned the name of the Lord of this temple as Karvaanathu Ullai Kalva – “you are in Karvaanam stealing the hearts of the devotees.” Hence, this temple assumes greater significance than the other two.
Historians are unable to conclude whether Tiru Neeragam and Tirukarakam had come to join Tiru Ooragam when Azhwar came here to submit his Mangalasasanam. Or did Azhwar sung his hymns at different places. When the temples met together, are questions still not solved. |
