Uthamar Koil
The Moolavar here is Purushothaman and the Thayar here is Poorvadevi or Poornavalli Thayar.Lord Shiva could not get over the Brahmahathi Dosha.He reached this Kshethram and prayed to Lakshmi to feed him.Thayar, the very compassion herself , gave alms to Shiva.Shiva took the alms in the Kapala Of Brahma.Till then no matter how much ever much of alms he had taken the Kapala was never full.But then from the alms given by Thayar Lakshmi,the Kapalam overflowed.Shiva realised his salvation was nearby and requested Lakshmi Devi to point out to the place where he can achieve salvation.Lord Shiva then went to Thirukandiyur as directed by Lakshmidevi.
Janaka performed yagna on the banks of Kadamba Pushkarani.The havis was eaten by a dog.To overcome this, Janaka did penance and worshipped the Kadamba tree.Perumal appeared before him from his Naval nabi and with Shiva.Since he saw thirumurthys here he hence built this temple.The Thayar appears here in nindra thirukolam.This is one such temple where you can see Lord Brahma , Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva along with their consorts.Its very auspicious to arranger marriages here and this temple has no doors.People could worship 24hrs in a day.
