Significance
– The rulers of Pandya, Chera and Chola had a fierce battle at Thalaialangalam
and King Neduchezhiya of Pandya Kingdom won the
battle.
Goddess Sri
Saraswathi worshipped Lord Shiva and envisioned Lord in the form of a Jyotir
Linga.
The legend has that the
hermits of Darukavanam turned out inconsiderate after gaining knowledge in
spirituality. This saintly people completely disregarded the supreme entity and
performed fire sacrifices to eradicate the existence of Supreme Lord. They
instigated Tiger from the sacrificial fire and prompted to fight against Lord
Shiva. The most compassionate Lord unperturbedly handled the Tiger and utilized
its skin as his attire. In this way, the hermits of Darukavanam continued their
malicious acts against Lord Shiva; they instigated Muyalakan (demon) from the
fire sacrifice. Lord Shiva elegantly
tackled the demon and danced over his body.
Eventually the hermits realized their folly and surrendered to Lord Shiva
