    Once Nediyon ( Vishnu) out of Maya ( mayakkathal) took a human form. He built a bridge in the sea with the help of Monkeys.

  • I think it is valmikis samadhi.

    1. Thiru vanmiyur is worshipped by valmiki

    2. koyambedu is called Kusalavapuri and the lord is kusalava pureeswarar. It is where valmiki had his ashram and sita gave birth to luv and Kush.

    3. Siruvarampedu alias chinnampedu is the place ( near red hills) where Lava and Kucha took their bows and fought with people who came to take the aswameda horse ( Siruvar + ambu+edu)

    Arunagirinathar mentions this in his thiruppugazh

    "siruvaragiya iruvar ramaodu samaradi" - referd in the song

    If I remember it right, Chinnambedu is also called as Siruvapuri? And there is a temple for Lord Muruga

  • yes vardini.
  • wow...thats amazing SN. Can you throw more light on these with literary
    proofs?
  • Siruvapuri, siruvarampedu, siruvai are the same. The link of thiruppugazh given explains it
  • Hi,

    I am not sure if this is correct but some one said

    Saidapet is actually from Sita pettai
    Chromepet is actually Ram pettai

  • Chromepet was named after Chrome Leather Factory...
    It belonged to Thiruchurathoor naadu (Tirisulam county).

    Saidapet was named after a Nawab of Arcot Syed Musalman.

    Lots of parable units attached to our history I guess :-)
