Vaitheeswaran Koil
Vaitheeswaran Temple or Pullirukkuvelur (Tamil:வைதீஸ்வரன் கோவில்) 〔 is a Hindu temple dedicated to the god Shiva located in Tamil Nadu, India. Shiva is worshipped as Vaitheeswaran or the "God of healing" and it is believed that prayers to Vaitheeswaran can cure diseases. It is one of the nine Navagraha (nine planets) temples associated with the planet Mars (Angaraka). The village is also known for palm leaf astrology called Naadi astrology in Tamil. It is located 7 kilometers from Sirkazhi, 235 kilometers from Chennai, 27 km from Chidambaram, 110 km from Thanjavur and 16 km from Mayiladuthurai.
The holy waters of the Siddhamirtham tank within the temple complex contains nectar, and a holy dip is believed to cure all diseases.〔〔Seth 2005, p.77〕
The temple is revered by the ''Tevaram'' hymns of 7th-century ''Saiva nayanars'' - Tamil saint poets and is also classified as a ''Paadal Petra Sthalam'' (temple revered by the ''nayanars'').
== Legend ==
During the Ramayana period, Rama, Lakshmana and Saptarishi have worshipped the deity in this place.〔Evensen 2007, p. 209〕 There is a pond at this temple called Jatayu ''kundam'' (pot of Jatayu having holy ash of Vibhuti). One of the nine planets, Angaraka (Mars), suffered from leprosy and was cured by Vaidhyanathaswamy and from then on it is treated as one of the Navagraha Temples for planet ''Angaraka''.〔Tourist guide to Tamil Nadu 2007, p. 53.〕 Parvati, the consort of Shiva, asked her son, Subramanya to appear with one face from his regular appearance of six faces. When he did so, she was pleased and presented him with ''vel'' (a weapon) to slay the demons.〔 Subramanya overcame the ''asura'' Surapadman (a demon) and in the war, his army was severely injured. Shiva came out as the healer Vaitheeswaran and cured the wounds.〔Ayyar 1991, pp. 260-261〕
