AsBrahma,Vishnu and Siva have sanctums inside this temple,it's calledThrimoorthi Sthalam.Legend says that as Lord shiva got Bitcha(alms)from Mahalakshmi in this sthalam and it filled the Bitcha vessel ,he iscalled Bitchadan.Hence the temple is also called Bitchandar Kovil.LordVishnu came in form of kathaba tree ,hence the name kathambanur,whichbecame karambanur as time wen on. Thirumangaialwar and Andal worshippedhe lord here as "Uthaman" hence the name "uthamar kovil" as well."Ongiulagalandha uthaman perpaadi" --- a famous verse from AndalThiruppavai..
Its generally said that Brahma do not have any temple. But there are exceptions and I think few temples have shrine for Brahma. But the thing is, every temple might say that this is th eonly temple for brahma..
Can someone list the temples where we can find Brahma's shrine?
And, speaking of 'Ongi ulangalantha uthaman perpadi..' - ML amma's voice lingers in my ears. Mesmerizing words in a mesmerizing voice of ML - Andal Tiruppavai.
