Samabandhar visited many scared temples of Lord Shiva and arrived in this temple. Meanwhile, the King who was ruled this city
had daughter, she was seriously ill with the severe breathing
difficulties. She was treated by several
scholars but the ill health remained the same.
Finally, the distressed King left his hope and surrendered to Lord. During this period, Sambandhar paid a visit
to this place was received with utmost reverence by the King and explained the
pathetic state of his daughter.
Sambandhar earnestly prayed to Lord and sang praising his glories,
miraculously the daughter of the King fully recovered from the illness. It is believed that worship of Lord Shiva in
this temple would cure all kinds of illnesses.
Sundarar earnestly prayed to Lord
Shiva for golden coins. He passionately sang
praising his glories; Lord was pleased at the devotion of Sundarar and appeared
before him and handed a bundle of golden coins to Sundarar. Sundarar was uncertain about the purity of the
golden coins. Soon, there appeared two
merchants stated that they are capable to verify the purity of the gold, after
examining the gold the merchants affirmed the purity of the same and
disappeared from the sight. Sundarar
realized that it was none other than Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu appeared in the
form of innocent merchants. Hence the
presiding deity has got the name ‘Maatruraivaradar’.
This temple remains open from 6.30AM
