108 Divya Desam 15th Thiru Kandiyur

108 Divya Desam
15th Thiru Kandiyur

The Moolavar here is haran or Aran Saapa  Vimochana Perumal.The Moolavar Thaayar here is Kamalavalli Nachiyar.Shiva and Brahma both had 5 heads. Once after meditation, Parvathi offered Padya to Brahma by mistake. Shiva was envious of Brahma and plucked his head. This head stuck
to Shiva's hand. He then worshipped Perumal at Anbil on his way
to Thiru Kandiyur via Uthamar Koil. Shiva waited for the Perumal
at Kamala Pushkarani and surrendered to Him. Perumal then hit
the earth with His mace. A Pushkarani was created. When Shiva
bathed in this tank the scull fell away. Since the scull flew away
this is called Kapala Pushkarani. (A different version is that the
Perumal pinched Himself and removed a small portion of His own
flesh and gave that as alms to Shiva. Once this piece of flesh fell
into the scull, the scull broke into pieces and Shiva was cured of
His curse. (Refer Periyazhwar Thirumozhi 1-9-9).Sudarshana is
seen in a walking pose. Perumal  is seen here with Sridevi and Bhoodevi.
