Thirukkadaiyur derives its name from the pot, called Gatam in Tamil. Vishnu, Indra, and the other Devas needed a sublime place to consume the ambrosia that had been churned during the Samudra manthan and, therefore, brought the ambrosia pot here. Before consuming it, they forgot to worship Ganesha, who is to be worshiped before any great undertaking. Ganesha, hurt and offended at the unintentional slight by the devas, stole the pot of Amrita and hid it at Tirukkadaiyur. Ganesha created a Shiva Lingam, dedicated to his father and mother, and poured some of the Amrita over it. The Shiva Lingam at this temple is known as Amrita Ghat Eshwarar, which, translated from Sanskrit literally means "Lord that leads to immortality" ('Immortality' (Amrita) 'Step' (Ghat) 'Lord' (Eshwarar)). It is also believed that Abhirami incarnated here by the power of Vishnu.

Very ancient temple, divine vibes and peaceful place for worshipping lord shiva. Good for meditation, dhyana & bhakti. Very close to thirukadaiyur temple, less than one kilometres, a must visit temple.

Perfect for peaceful devotion place. Wide interior place to roam. Long walk way to reach temple entrance. Legendary poetry Thiru Niyanasamandar, Thiru navukarasar and Sundharar all three visited and sang a song for lord Siva.

Siva killed Yema (kalan) to punish him for the sin he did when he thrown his rope on him along with Markanteyan. Due to this the world new life form creation and removing existing life form expiry stopped. Later, all devas prayed to Siva to correct this problem. He gave back life to Yema at this place. So it is called Mayanam, where Shiva did Pramma's job of creating him again. So he is called Prahma pureeswarar.
