PARUTHIYUR

Paruthiyur is a calm and tiny village on the northern banks of Kudamuruti River, near Sengalipuram, in Thiruvarur District of Tamil Nadu.

Due to the poisonous flames of Raghu, Surya, the Sun God had once lost His facial beauty. It occurred on a solar eclipse day. The Sun God prayed to Lord Siva from this place and regained His charm and brightness. 'Sun' in Tamil is called Parithi. As Parithi Worshipped here, this place is called Paruthiyur. In colloquial usage it has become Paruthiyur.

Brahmashree Krishna Sasthrigal,a renowned Ramayana Discourse scholar had spent all his earnings for the renovation of this temple. Recently with the blessings of Sri Sankarachariyas of Kanchi Kamakodi Mutt and Maharanyam Sri Muralidhara Swamigal, renovations are done to all the temples. Paruthiyur kainkarya Trust.[1]
