The legend has that Thiru Gnana
Sambandhar with a group of devotees arrived on this sacred land and found the
tributary of river Cauvery was flooded and there was no ferry man available to
cross this river to reach on the other side where Lord
Vilvaneswarar temple was located.
The group of devotees were terrified, seeing their panicky
state Sambandhar passionately sung praising the glories of Lord
Vilvavaneswarar. Shortly, Sambandhar and
his followers were settled on an empty ferry without any boatmen, surprisingly
the ferry safely landed on the banks with the grace of Lord. Further, Odathiruvizha celebrated in the month of Aippasi to commemorates the above incident.
This temple remains open from
6.30 AM to 11.00AM in the morning and 4.30 PM to 8.00PM in the evenings.
Jaya Jaya Sankara Hara Hara Sankara !!
