'''Paampuranathar Temple, Thirupampuram''' is situated at [[Thirupampuram]] in Thiruvarur district in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. The place is located 26 km east of Kumbakonam and it will take 1hr travel through bus.

== Significance ==
It is one of the shrines of the 275 [[Paadal Petra Sthalams]] - [[Shiva Temples of Tamil Nadu#Sthalams|Shiva Sthalams]] glorified in the early medieval ''[[Tevaram]]'' poems by Tamil Saivite [[Nayanars|Nayanar]] [[Tirugnanasambandar]] [[Sundarar]] and [[Appar]].

==History of the Temple==
[[File:Thirupamburam3.jpg|200px|thumb|left|The temple tank located outside the temple]]
'''Thirupampuram''' is considered to be the 59th Tevara Stalams of [[Chola kingdom]] located south of the River [[Kaveri]]. The name of this village came from the temple name here. This temple is situated on the [[Kumbakonam]] to [[Karaikal]] [[highway]], about 3 km from the main road. From Peralam it is 7 km. (It is off Peralam - Kollumangudi - Kumbakonam route).

This [[temple]] is also known as Urakapuram and Seshapuri. The name of the Lord Siva here is Paampuranathar (also referred as Seshapureeswarar), and Sarpeswararand the goddess is Vandaar Poonkuzhali (also referred to as Pramarambikai).

Lord Bhrama and Saint Agasthyar are said to have worshiped [[Shiva]] here.

Also, the Kings of Serpents Nagarajan and Karkotakan are said to have worshiped [[Shiva]] here. Once Lord [[Vinayagar]] was offering prayers to Lord [[Shiva]]. At that time the serpent in the neck of the Lord thought that he too is worshiped by [[Vinayagar]]. Knowing this Lord Shiva got angry and cursed the serpents to lose all their Shakthi. In order to retrieve it [[Aadiseshan]] and other serpents came to earth in one Maha Shiva Rathri and offered prayers to Kudanthai [Kumbakonam] Nageshwarar in the morning, Thirunageshwaram at the noon, Thirupamburam Pambureswarar in the evening and Nagoor Nageshwarar at the night and got the blessings of the Lord.
The name Paampuram comes from the association with Nagarajan. It is said that 3 days a week [[snake]] is seen near the [[God]] or Goddess. The temple history suggests that [[snakes]] are present at this [[temple]] and every Sunday, Tuesday and Friday odors of [[Jasmine]] and Thazampu are also present. There is the fact that people do not die of snake bite at this place and no history of snake bites although a lot of snakes are seen in this area.

This place is sung in the Thevaram hymns of Thirugnanasambandar has sung Devara hymns (Thirumurai 1;Song 41; Pann: Thakkaragam சீரணிதிகழ்திரு மார்பில்வெண்ணூலர்). in praise of this lord.

Pooja's for [[Rahu]] [[ketu (mythology)|ketu]] doshas is done here. In order to get relieved from Nagadosham, people who do not have children and for Raghu-Kethu Dosham people come here and offer prayers to the lord.

As per Hindu belief, people troubled by Sarpa-dosha or Malefic effects Rahu-Kethu seek a relief by offering prayers in a single day to [[Nageswaraswamy_Temple,_Kumbakonam|Kudanthai or Kumbakonam Nageshwarar]] in the morning, [[Tirunageswaram_Naganathar_Temple|Thirunageshwaram Naganathar]] at the noon, Thirupamburam Pambureswarar in the evening and [[Nagore|Nagoor Nageshwarar or Naganathar temple]] at night.<ref name="Sridhar">{{cite book|title=Kumbakonam Azhaikkirathu|isbn=9788183682244|pages=20–23|publisher=New Horizon Media|year=2007|last=Sharma|first=Sridhara|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=D0HOpzd4-cwC&printsec=frontcover&dq=kumbakonam+azhaikkirathu&hl=en&sa=X&ei=y4E2UaypGpCe9QSN5IFY&ved=0CDUQ6AEwAA}}</ref>
