Aamravaneswarar Temple ,Tirumaandurai, Trichy, Tamilnadu
Amravaneswarar Temple is located in Manturai, Trichy, Tamil Nadu. It is one of the 275 Paadal Petra Sthalams. The temple was significantly expanded by Chola kings during the 11th century. It is believed that Sage Mrikandeeswara performed penance at this temple, and hence it is also called Mrikandeswarapura. The main shrine houses the image of Shiva, known as Amravaneswarar, and his consort Ambal is known as Balambigai. Numerous inscriptions on the temple walls reveal Chola architecture.
History of this temple:
Shiva bestowed a deer with a mango here. Since Shiva bestowed a deer with a mango, this place is called Manthurai (maan is deer in Tamil). Brahma, the Hindu god of creation, is said to have brought the Gayatri Nadi at the completion of his worship here, and his act of having made the false claim of having seen the top of the column of fire in which Shiva had manifested himself, was absolved here.
