108 Divya Desam
4th
Thiru Anbil

The Moolavar here is Thiruvadivazhagia Nambi and the Moolavar thayar is Azhagiavalli thayar.Shiva and Brahma both had 5 heads.Parvathi offered padha Pooja to Brahma by mistake.Shiva was envious of Brahma and pluck one of his head this head stuck to Shiva's head.Shiva got affected by Brahmahathi Dosham.To get rid of this Dosha Lord Shiva prayed Perumal on his way to Thiru Kandiyur via Uthamar kovil.
Mandooga Maharishi :
It seems a  Muni here used to perform tapas under water to attain strength and power.Once the great sage Dhurvasa visited this place wanting to see the Muni.The Muni was doing his tapas under water.Dhurvasa got angry and cursed him to become a frog.Hence this place is also called mandukapuri
.Perumal appeared in this place by the request of Lord Brahma and Valmiki.Perumal here is very beautiful as the name suggests.With Boomidevi and Sridevi Thayar sitting in either side of his thiruvadi blocking the view of perumal's thiruvadi.There is no padhasevai here.This place is located in Mel Anbil and Andal is seen here in sitting position.
Anbil is regarded as a Divya Desam by both Vaishnavites and Saivites. The Western Part of Anbil refered as Mel Anbil is worshipped Vishnu Sthalam where as Eastern Part Keezh Anbil is being worshipped as Siva Sthalam.
