  • Hi
    Tirupulivanam also padal petra sthalam. Venkatesh please check.
    Rajavel was able to read the names of the nayanmars inscribed one each
    on pillars, incidentally they mention their caste names too.To be
    checked. the temple itself was reconstructed in later chola, period
    into an apsidal one. contains a great and a differnet form of
    Dakshinamurti.

    sriraman.p.s.
  • Hi
    the only devara paadal petra sthalam in that area is thiru maagaaral
    between uthiramerur and kanchi.

    has lots of association with rajendra and his stay in chidambaram.
    some story about a jack fruit being sent to the king daily.


    also shiva appearing as a golden iguana lizard to rrajendra.

    but not sure if it is called pulivanam. any association to word puli
    actualy leads to vyagrapadfar.

    it could be a vaipu sthalam mentioned in another place's devaram.
