in various places in Villupuram area during his exile and installed Shiva
Lingas in those places. It is said that Lord Rama stayed in this place. One
day, he hunted a boar and noticed two arrows got struck in its body. A hunter
came and demanded the boar belong him as he was the one who struck the boar
first. The hunter stated Lord Rama that his arrow is bigger which killed the
boar. Hence, the boar could not be given to Lord Rama. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

for a solution. The hunter got turned into a Linga and boar got disappeared
suddenly. Lord Rama understood the game played by Lord Shiva and worshipped the
Linga. As there was a discussion about the big arrow, the place came to be
called as Periya Ambu (Periya means big & Ambu means arrow). Later, got
corrupted to Perambai.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Mahavishnu was cursed by Sage Sukracharya. Brahma was also a part for the
curse. Due to the curse they lost their eyesight. Both Brahma and Vishnu were
asked to reach this place and install a Linga and worship it. Brahma installed
a Linga and both Brahma and Vishnu worshipped this Linga and got rid of their
curse. Therefore, Brahma has 8 eyes as he has 4 heads and Mahavishnu 2 eyes.
Hence, the place is called as Pathukannu. Ancient name of Pathukannu was
Brahmeeswaram. Hence, Lord Shiva came to be called as Brahmapureeswarar.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Bramha and Lord Vishnu entered into a heated argument among
themselves to ascertain who was the greatest. Lord Shiva was asked to be the
judge. Lord Siva told them that whoever was able to see his crown as well as
his feet would be declared as the greatest. Then Lord Shiva transformed himself
into a Jothi (a column of fire) touching the heaven and earth. Lord Vishnu took
the avatar of Varaha (wild boar) and dug deep into the earth to find Siva’s
feet but later accepted defeat. Bramha took the form of a swan and flew to see
the crown of Shiva.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Bramha saw a Thazampoo flower which had decked Shiva’s crown falling
down. He asked the flower on its way down, as to the distance of Shiva’s crown
whereby the flower replied that he had been falling for forty thousand years.
Lord Bramha, realizing that he would not be able to reach the crown, asked the
flower to act as a false witness to help him. The Thazampoo flower, acting as a
false witness, declared to Lord Shiva that Brahma had seen Lord Shiva’s crown. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

deception and cursed that Bramha should have no temple on earth and to
become a swan. Lord Shiva also cursed Thazampoo flower that it should not be
used while praying to Lord Shiva. The place where Lord Siva stood as a column
of fire to eliminate Brahma’s ego is Thiruvannamalai. Lord Brahma in the form
of Swan came here and worshipped Lord Shiva to get rid of his curse. Hence, the
village is called as <a href="https://explore-pondicherry.blogspot.com/2021/01/nidheeswarar-temple-annamputhur-villupuram.html">Annamputhur</a>.

out from the mound in 20<sup>th</sup> Century. Locals shifted the Sivalingam to

the lingam was found. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

daughters (i.e. 27 stars). Maham star felt that Aayilya star was very close
with Chandran. Hence, Maham star placed a curse on Aayilya star. Aayilya star
lost her beauty and strength and became very weak due to the curse. To overcome
the curse, she was advised to come to this place and worship Lord Shiva here.
She created a pond and worshipped Lord Shiva here. She regained her beauty and
strength by the grace of Lord Shiva. Hence, Lord Shiva of this Temple came to
be called as Aayilya Eswarar. Later got corrupted to Aayeeswarar. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
