sundara statue has a crocodile vahana here
close to avinashi in thiru murugan poondi( present day tirupur) a band of brigands steal all the prize s sundara has and he asks shiva of this town " how can you stay in this place of bandits" even now people jokingly tell me theft and pilferage is high in thirupur.
