🛕 Lord Shiva | 📍 Thirukadaiyur, Mayiladuthurai, Tamil Nadu
Thirumayanam Brahmapureeswarar Temple is traditionally regarded as the 107th Shiva temple worshipped by Sage Markandeya. The temple is closely associated with Thirukadaiyur Amritaghateswarar Temple, and the sacred water used for the ceremonial abhishekam of Lord Amritaghateswarar is traditionally brought from this temple. According to the traditional legend, Lord Shiva reduced Brahma to ashes and later restored him to life, granting him the divine responsibility of creation. The temple is also an important Tevaram Paadal Petra Sthalam, praised in the hymns of the three principal Nayanmars.
According to the traditional Sthala Purana, Brahma once incurred the displeasure of Lord Shiva and was reduced to ashes. Brahma subsequently received Shiva's grace and was restored, along with the divine knowledge and authority necessary to continue the work of creation. Because of this association, the shrine came to be known as Kadavur Mayanam. The sacred site is also associated with Sage Markandeya and the nearby Thirukadaiyur Amritaghateswarar Temple. The present name Thirumayanam is connected with the traditional spiritual significance of the site.
