Thirumohoor Kalamegaperumal Temple
Thirumohoor Kalamegaperumal Temple (also known as Thirumohoor or Tirumogoor temple) is a hindu temple near Melur, Madurai district in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu, is dedicated to the Hindu god Vishnu. Constructed in the Dravidian style of architecture, the temple is glorified in the ''Divya Prabandha'', the early medieval Tamil canon of the Azhwar saints from the 6th–9th centuries AD. It is one of the 108 ''Divyadesam'' dedicated to Vishnu, who is worshipped as Neelamegha Perumal and his consort Lakshmi as Tirukannapura Nayagi. As per Hindu legend, the presiding deity is believed to have appeared as a female Mohini to lure the asuras to support Devas, the celestial deities. The temple is also known as ''Mohanapuram'' and ''Mohanakshetram''.
A granite wall surrounds the temple, enclosing all its shrines and three of its four bodies of water. The temple has a five-tiered ''rajagopuram'', the temple's gateway tower and a huge temple tank in front of it. The temple is believed to have been built by the Pandyas, with later additions from the Madurai Nayaks.
Six daily rituals and three yearly festivals are held at the temple, of which the Brahmotsavam, celebrated during the Tamil month of ''Vaikasi'' (April-May), being the most prominent. The temple is maintained and administered by the Hindu Religious and Endowment Board of the Government of Tamil Nadu.
==Legend==
As per Hindu legend, once a demon by name Basmasura did penance. Shiva granted him a boon that when he touches anyone's head, the person would turn to ashes. Basmasura wanted to test the boon and wanted to touch the head of Shiva. A bewildered Shiva ran to seek the favour of Vishnu, who took the form of lady Mohini. She lured Basmasura with her dance and let Basmasura place his hand on his head. The demon Basmasura was thus mutilated. The place where Mohini lured (meaning ''Moham'') turned to be Thirumohur. As per another legend, there was a fight between the Devas and Asuras (demon) during the chruning of Ocean of Milk for Amrita, the ambrosia. Asuras were able to overpower Devas at one point of time and the Devas sought the rescue from Vishnu. Vishnu appeared as Mohini to lure the asuras and gave them empty pot. It is believed that Thirumohur is the place of the event.
