Vazhyvoor – Veeratteswarar Temple History :

• Once this place was a forest. There so many sages were living in this place with their wifes. This place was called as “Tharuka Vanam”.
• They were doing “Yagna” (Kind of spiritual duty) as their worship.
• They were in a thought that doing this kind of Yagna is enough to attain the “Mukthi” and there is no need to worship Lord Shiva.
• Because of this attitude they were not ready to worship Lord Shiva. They felt that, they were the superiors.
• Lord Shiva wanted to teach a lesson to them. He came here as a Bhikshatanar which is the beautiful “Avathar” (one of the apperance) of Lord Sri Shiva.
• People were so impressed with the beauty of Lord Shiva. Sri Vishnu also came here at the same time as a “Mohini” (one of the womanly apperance) of Lord Sri Vishnu.

• When the came to know that Lord Shiva appeared here to teach a lesson to them, they created an elephant (“Gaja Sura”) from the Yagna to destroy Lord Shiva.
