	Greatness Of Temple:

	Great Shiva devotee Vali the elder brother of Sugriva is honoured with a shrine in the temple. His Bhakti is elaborately described in Kamba Ramayanam through the words of Sri Anjaneya that he used to jump from place to place to renowned Shiva Kshetras in the country each day for worship. His might and power was equally great that he bound the ten headed Ravana by his tail. Devotees worship here for relief from planetary adversities and for happy marital life.

	Temple History:

	Vali’s physical prowess was unconquerable as that of Hercules in western epics. He was a staunch Shiva devotee. He was always chanting the Shiva Nama and glory of Lord Shiva. He prayed to Lord in touching words to pardon him if he had committed sins knowingly or unknowingly. He also prayed that he should have no enemies to fight as he had no such warring mindset. If and when he had to counter an enemy, he may be blessed to absorb half the strength of his opponent so that he may defeat him. He went to various Shiva Kshetras, dug tanks for the abishek of Lord and performed pujas with Vilwa leaves. Pleased with his life of penance and worship, Lord appeared before him and granted the boon he wished. Pandithakudi near Koothanallur in Tiruvarur district is one such famous place Vali where worshipped Lord Shiva. He bound the ten headed Ravana with his Vaal – tail. Probably, he got the name Vali because of this heroic instance.
