Significance

It is one of the shrines of the 275 Paadal Petra Sthalams – Shiva Sthalams glorified in the early medieval Tevaram poems by Tamil Saivite Nayanar Sambandar.[3] Here shiva was worshipped by Vali, Indra in the form of Anil (Squirrel) and Yama in the form of Muttam (Crow) so the place is called as "KuranganilMuttam". Since vali worshipped here, lord shiva is called as Vaaleeswarar. Parvati is called as Iraiyaarvalaiyammai.
