Thirunageswaram Temple IDOL

History of Thirunageswaram Temple

According to the history of Thirunageswaram Temple the Adi Seshan, Dakshana and Karkotkan Nagas worshiped Shiva here. In addition, Nala worshiped Shiva here, as Gautama Muni, Parasarar and Bhagirata are also associated with the legends related to this temple. Rahu prayed to Shiva and hence the place was named Tirunageswaram. Here Lord Rahu has appeared with both his wives.

King Sambumali, who faced the wrath of Sage Kalangiri, attained salvation after taking a bath in the temple tank and praying to the Lord of Thirunageswaram Temple and Ambal. The devas and asuras then churned the Parakadal to obtain the nectar that would free them from death, keeping them alive forever.

When Amritam emerged, Lord Vishnu in the form of Mohini was only distributing Amritam to the deities. He was worried that by consuming amirtham, the evil deeds of the asuras would multiply.

Realizing this, one of the Asuras assumed the form of a deity with the help of the Asura Guru Shukracharya and consumed the nectar. Suryan and Chandran who saw this complained to Lord Narayan. In anger, Lord Narayan hit the asura’s head with a spoon in his hand.

His head fell on the ground. But because the asura had consumed the nectar, his head and body remained alive. The snake’s body joined the head to become Rahu. Rahu prayed to Lord Vishnu and attained the status of a Sayagraham. Rahu takes his revenge on Suryan and Chandran, by eating them whenever he gets a chance. People usually call it eclipse.
