Thirunattiyathankudi is one of
the 275 Thevara Shivasthalam of Lord Shiva located in Mavur, Thiruvanur
District, Tamil Nadu. This is one of the
prominent temples of Lord Shiva famous for its stunning architectural and
exquisite murals.
Presiding deity –
Manikkavannar/Ratnapureeswarar/Nattiyathunambi with his consort Goddess Sri
Mamalar Mangai/Ratnapureeswari
Mangalasasanam – Sundarar
Sundarar paid a visit to this
sacred land and accepted the hospitality of Thiru Kotpulinayanar. He fervently entered the temple of Lord
Manikkavannar and Goddess Mamalarmangai and found no trace of presiding deities
in the sanctum. He was distraught at this incident and enquired Lord Ganesha
about the reason. Lord Ganesha did not
utter a word; instead he pointed his finger on the Eastern side of this
temple. Sundarar passionately followed
the gesture of Lord Ganesha. Sundarar walked through the agricultural lands and
found Lord Shiva and Goddess Sri Parvati working on a paddy field, witnessing
this divine couple immersed in the field activities Sundarar worriedly called
out for them and requested to stop the work.
Instantaneously, the couple disappeared from the sight and entered in
the sanctum; Sundarar followed them and passionately sung praising the glories
of Lord in this temple.
Thiru Kotpulinayanar had lots of
admiration towards Sundarar. He
requested Sundarar to accept his two daughters Singadi and Vanapahai as his
servants, but Sundarar generously accepted them as his daughter.
