FESTIVALS
Of the important festivals celebrated here, Tirumalaippal is given the highest importance. It
falls on the 2nd of
Chitra. And it is on that auspicious day, Mother Uma fed Sambandar and made him the
much renowned Tirugnana Sambandar. Hence the attraction. Festivals during Adi and Navaratri
have a great attraction. This Lord was worshipped by gods, sages, singers,
saints and emperors of great eminence. Brahma appeared to have descended several times to
offer prayers to the Lord, so
the holy place was called Brahmapuram for long. Siva is worshipped here in his three forms
Guru, Linga and
Sangama. Uma Maheswar worship represents Guru Moorthi, Sri Brahmapureeswara
stands for
Linga Moorthi and Sattainathaswamy symbolises the Sangana Moorthi. The goddess is
popularly known as Sthira
Sundari.
There are twenty two tirthas in the town and two in the temple itself -
Brahma Thirtha and Parachara Thirtha. Bathing in them is efficacious and liberates the
sinners. Eminent Nayanamars like Tirunaukkarasu, Sundarar and Manickavachakar sang in praise of
this Lord.
And the songs are preserved with honour due. It is a place of emancipation and
exemplifies the glories of Lord Maheswar and Mother Uma to a degree of utmost
significance, and the spiritual solace it confers is indeed equal to none but to itself.
