== History ==
Located in Thirunelveli, Thachanallur, the [[Varamtharum Perumal temple]] is 700 years old. There is a small story that exists behind the name called Thachanallur. Early days carpenters who are called as "Thachars" in tamil who did carpentry works for "The Great Nellaiappar temple" (Temple of Lord Shiva) in Tirunelveli Town lived here and as a replica of "The Great Nellaiappar Temple" which is located in Tirunelveli Town the carpenters build a Lord Shiva temple in Thachanallur. Inspired from those Thachars the town was named as "Thachanallur"

The inscription on the temple says that the area was called Thachanoor in 1232 AD.

Thachanoor was in “Keezha Naattu Veampu” division of the two countries that bordered the [[Thamirabarani River|Thamiraparani]] river at that time. According to the records, the temple was built by King [[Marthanda Varma|Marthanda Varmar]] in 1734 BC and by King [[King Vallabha Mangalam|Vallabha Mangalam]].

The King [[Kulasekara Pandya]] has made the people feel the need to take good care of the temple.

The temple was also well maintained by King [[Sundhara Paandiya]] and King[[King Thirumalai Nayak|Thirumalai Nayak]] of Madurai in 16th century AD.

The inscriptions here indicate that the kings of [[Madurai]] came to worship here for important events in [[Madurai]].
