It is one of the shrines of the 275 [[Paadal Petra Sthalams]]. The temple is devoted to Lord Vedapuresswarar who came here and imparted his spiritual knowledge regarding the [[Vedas]]. According to legend, it is in this sacred place that Saint Thirugnanasambanthar used his holy miraculous powers and transformed a male palm tree into a female palm tree. [[Arunagirinathar]], a devotee of Lord [[Muruga]] worshipped the Lord in this temple. According to popular legend, when the [[Saivite]] saint [[Sambandhar]] visited Therazhundur, he could not distinguish the temple from the neighbouring [[Sri Devaadi Raja Perumal Temple]] dedicated to [[Vishnu]]. At that instant, [[Ganesha]] is believed to have manifested before Sampandhar and pointed out the Shiva temple to him. | It is one of the shrines of the 275 [[Paadal Petra Sthalams]].
