Thyagaraja Temple, Tiruvottiyur : ウィキペディア英語版 | Thyagaraja Temple, Tiruvottiyur
Thyagaraja Temple ( also called as Vadivudai Amman Temple ) is a Hindu temple dedicated to Hindu god Shiva. It is located in Tiruvottiyur in the northern part of Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. The temple is revered by the ''Tevaram'' hymns of Saiva nayanars, the 7th century Tamil saint poets and classified as Paadal Petra Sthalam. The temple is closely associated with the saint poet Sundarar and Pattinathar. The temple has been in vogue from the Pallava times of 7th century and widely expanded by Chola kings during the 11th century. The temple has a seven tiered gateway tower, a tank, with the overall temple area covering 1 acre. The temple is administered by the Hindu Religious and Endowment Board of the Government of Tamil Nadu. The temple draws parallel with the Thygaraja temple in Tiruvarur as both the temples were expanded by Rajendra Chola I and both have the same dance poses of Shiva. ==Legend==
Brahmā is the Hindu god of creation and one of the three primary gods of Hinduism, the other two being Viṣņu and Śiva. He created the Gods and demons - both these groups fight against each other. While the demons, called ''asuras'' use muscle power, the Gods called ''devas'' use the power of ''Veda'', the sacred texts. Once, two demons, Madhu and Kaithaba tricked the gods to steal the ''Veda'', chopped it to pieces and hid it in the bottom of the sea. Vishnu fought the demons, but could not defeat them. He prayed to Shiva and Parvathi and with the accomplishment, he was able to defeat the demons. He took the form of ''Matsya'', a fish to search the ''Veda''. The recovered ''Veda'' from the bottom of the sea was brought to the deity at this temple, who reunited and purified it. The wishing tree of gods, ''makizha'' tree, became the sacred tree of the temple.
