History
The god Brahma's s overwhelming pride as the Creator of the Universe. Brahma felt that He was more prevailing than Shiva –
since He had the supremacy of creation.
This sense of pride provoked Shiva, who
destroyed Brahma’s Fifth Head, and also
cursed Him that He would lose His power
of creation.
To relieve himself of this curse, Brahma started on a pilgrimage to Shiva
Temples.
During His pilgrimage,
Brahma also visited this temple and
installed 12 Shiva Lingams around Brahmapureeswarar and worshipped Shiva
here for a considerable time.
Being moved by Brahma's prayers, Shiva,
on Devi Parvathi’s appeal, gave him
Darshan under the Magizha tree and liberated Him from His curse. Shiva also restored the power and responsibility of creation to Brahma.
Shiva also blessed Brahma that He would have a separate shrine at this temple. He also advised Brahma that since Brahma
himself had His destiny rewritten here; He should rewrite the destiny of His devotees visiting this temple.
Since the fate of Brahma, the Creator,
He was changed by Shiva at
Tirupattur, one can expect a turning point in life by praying at this temple.
The temple is under the administration of
TamilNadu.

Most of these Shiv Lingams are housed in separate shrines, which are situated
around the Brahma Theertham.
Brahma Theertham is the pond from which
Brahma took water for performing puja to Shiva.

popularity in 1999.
