| Description:This
Shivastalam is located to the South of Tiruvarur,
9 km east of the Maavur road railhead. This shrine is regarded as the
120th in the series of Tevara Stalams in the Chola Region south of the
river Kaveri. Legends: Shiva is said to have
accepted worship from a devout woman (whose family objected to her religious faith ) to a
fixture used to tie calves in the cattleshed; hence the name Kanraappu. Hidimba is said to
have worshipped here.
This temple occupies an area of about an acre and a half.
This east facing temple has a 3 tiered Rajagopuram. Four worship
services are offered here each day and the annual Bhrammotsavam is held in the month of
Vaikasi. .. |
