 Greatness Of Temple:
     
  Saint Manickavasagar, as a GURU in standing posture wearing Rudraksha mala and holding a Japa Mala in the right hand with a Chinmudra graces the devotees.  He has palm leaves in the left hand.  Lord Kasi Viswanatha and Mother Visalakshi grace the devotees in the temple.  People pray to them to have wise children.  The do this prayer especially before admitting children to school.  Special pujas are dedicated to Saint Manickavasagar on each Maga star day each month.  As the saint was blessed for his hymns in Tamil, all archanas here are performed in Tamil.  He comes in procession as a Minister during the festivals.  It may be recalled that Manickavasagar was the Prime Minister of King Arimardana Pandiyan.  On the Uthira Star day in the months of Aani (June-July) and Margazhi (December-January) both the Saint and Lord Nataraja come together in procession.  Devotees use to chant the Tiruchazhal hymn of the saint during this event to overcome stammering problems.
Sri Chandikeswara, usually in sitting form in Shiva temples is in standing posture in this temple worshipping the Shivalinga.  Chitragupta is in meditation posture with his writing instruments – palm leaf and ezhuthani.   People use to do pujas here for longevity. Sani Bhagwan in the Navagraha shrine is with a parrot in hand.  There is also another Sani Bagwan with long threatening teeth called Gora Saneeswara.
During the Guru Puja, a Shiva Puja in midday is performed for Shiva devotees,
 honoured as Lord Himself.  They are offered pujas with sacred ash, sandal and flowers with Aarati.
  
     
  Temple History:
     
  Vadavoorar was born at Tiruvadavur as the son of Sambupadachariar and Shivagnanavati couple.  In appreciation of his erudition and integrity and devotion to Lord Shiva, King Arimardana Pandian appointed him as his minister and honoured him with the title Thennavan Brahmmarayan.   He gave adequate money to him to buy high-breed horses for his cavalry.  When the saint reached Tiruperundurai (now Avudayarkoil), he saw Lord Shiva under a Kurundha tree teaching disciples.  Vadavoorar lost himself at the sight of Lord, fell at His feet and begged to be accepted as His disciple.  Lord gladly admitted him as His student.  As the hymns sung by Vadavoorar were like gems – Manickam in Tamil, Lord named him Manickavasagar.
Manickavasagar returned to the kingdom.  Lord Shiva changed the jackals in the forest as horses and brought them to the king.  They became jackals at night.  Suspecting Manickavasagar of foul play, the king punished him.  Lord Shiva played a miracle play-Tiruvilayadal and made public the greatness of Manickavasagar who is the presiding deity of the temple.
