> 1. Sundara was born here.

NO sundara was born in thondai naadu- thiru navalur

so fascinated was sundara with his father in laws house that he
settled here and also identified himself as aarooran in many devaram
lyrics.

many of miracles for sundara happened here

sundarar at one point says
THIRUVAAROORIL PIRANTHA ELLORKUM ADIYEN

there are 3 thevaram shrines here. 2 within the main temple and one
at the theradi.

nataraja during his second exit from chidambaram( first was in 1314
muslim invasion)stayed at thiruvarur.
